Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high until shimmering, about 90 seconds.

  2. Step 2

    Add onions, cook stirring occasionally until caramelized and dark golden, 8–10 minutes.

  3. Step 3

    While onions cook, slice kielbasa on the bias into 1/2-inch-thick coins.

  4. Step 4

    Push onions to the side of the pan; add kielbasa coins in a single layer, let them sear 90 seconds.

  5. Step 5

    Stir kielbasa with onions, then drizzle vinegar over everything and toss to coat.

  6. Step 6

    Toast buns in the warm skillet 30 seconds per side until light golden, then fill each with kielbasa, onions, pickles, and mustard.
