Step 1
Slice the onion into 1/4-inch-thick rings. Heat oil in a 12-inch skillet over medium-high.
Step 2
Add onions, sprinkle with salt. Cook 8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until edges char and soften.
Step 3
Push onions to the side. Place bratwurst in the skillet, sear 3 minutes per side until golden brown.
Step 4
Pour beer into the pan, scraping up browned bits. Simmer 2 minutes until liquid mostly evaporates.
Step 5
Stir in mustard and caraway seeds. Toss everything together for 1 minute until glossy.
Step 6
Serve bratwurst on crusty bread topped with onions, mustard, and pan sauce.
