Step 1
In a large skillet over medium heat, add the 2 tbsp butter and 1 sliced onion. Cook until soft and golden, about 8 minutes. Remove and set aside.
Step 2
Add the 4 bratwurst links to the same skillet. Brown on all sides over medium-high heat, about 5 minutes total.
Step 3
Pour in the 1 cup beer or water. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer until sausages are cooked through and plump, about 12 minutes.
Step 4
Uncover and increase heat to medium. Cook until the liquid evaporates and sausages get a nice sear, about 3 minutes.
Step 5
Toast the 4 hot dog buns in the skillet or under a broiler until lightly golden, about 1 minute.
Step 6
Place each bratwurst in a bun. Spread 1 tbsp mustard on each, then top with the cooked onions. Serve hot.
