Step 1
Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high. Add sliced onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until deep golden and very soft, about 8 minutes.
Step 2
Push onions to the side. Sear bratwurst on both sides until browned, about 3 minutes per side. You'll hear a steady sizzle.
Step 3
Add sauerkraut, beer, brown sugar, and a pinch of salt. Stir gently to combine everything in the pan.
Step 4
Simmer until bratwurst is cooked through and sauerkraut is heated, about 4 minutes. Internal temp should reach 160°F.
Step 5
Divide bratwurst and toppings between plates. Serve with mustard on the side.
