Step 1
Score the kielbasa skin in a crosshatch pattern, then slice into 1-inch-thick rounds.
Step 2
Heat a large skillet over medium-high until it shimmers. Add kielbasa rounds and sear 2 minutes per side until edges char.
Step 3
Push kielbasa to the side, add sliced onion, and cook stirring occasionally until golden and soft, about 5 minutes.
Step 4
Pour in broth and scrape up any browned bits on the pan bottom. Simmer 2 minutes until liquid reduces by half.
Step 5
Stir in mustard and caraway seeds (if using). Toss everything to coat and heat through, about 30 seconds.
Step 6
Serve hot in a bowl or on a plate with crusty bread and sauerkraut if you have it.
