Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Heat oil in a 12-inch skillet over medium-high until shimmering.

  2. Step 2

    Coil the sausage into a spiral or lay it in a loose coil. Slide it into the pan and let it sit 3 minutes without moving — edges should brown.

  3. Step 3

    Flip the coiled sausage carefully and cook another 3 minutes until the other side is golden. Transfer to a plate.

  4. Step 4

    Add onions to the same skillet and cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until soft and caramelized — about 8 minutes.

  5. Step 5

    Pour in broth, Worcestershire, and thyme. Scrape up any browned bits. Return the sausage to the pan and simmer 4 minutes until sauce thickens slightly.

  6. Step 6

    Stir in mustard if using. Serve the sausage coil with the gravy spooned over.

Tools you’ll need
