Step 1
Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add 4 bratwurst links and cook, turning occasionally, until browned on all sides, about 5 minutes.
Step 2
Add 1 sliced onion to the skillet. Cook, stirring, until the onion is soft and golden, about 5 minutes.
Step 3
Pour in 0.5 cup beer or chicken broth. Bring to a simmer, then cover and cook until the sausages are cooked through (internal temperature 160°F), about 10 minutes.
Step 4
Remove the lid and cook uncovered for 2-3 minutes, letting the liquid reduce to a light glaze. Season with 0.5 tsp salt and 0.25 tsp black pepper.
Step 5
Serve the bratwurst hot with the onions and any pan juices spooned over the top.
