Juicy, snappy grilled beef sausages seasoned with marjoram, caraway, and white pepper — the classic German bratwurst made entirely with beef.

Ingredients

4 large beef bratwurst sausages
1 tbsp vegetable oil
4 crusty bread rolls (Brötchen)
German mustard (sweet or spicy)
Sauerkraut for serving

Instructions

1 Heat a charcoal grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.
2 Lightly oil the grill grates. Place beef bratwurst on the grill.
3 Grill for 10-12 min, turning frequently, until evenly browned and the internal temperature reaches 75°C (165°F).
4 Do not prick the sausages — this releases precious juices.
5 Serve in a crusty Brötchen with a generous stripe of German mustard.
6 Accompany with warm sauerkraut and Kartoffelsalat.
