Step 1
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Working in batches, sear kielbasa rounds 2 minutes per side until golden and crispy. Set aside on a plate.
Step 2
Reduce heat to medium. Add butter and sauté onion until softened, about 3 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Step 3
Add cabbage and caraway seeds. Season with salt and pepper. Cook uncovered, stirring every 2 minutes, until cabbage is tender, about 6 minutes.
Step 4
Return kielbasa to the skillet. Stir in mustard until everything is coated and warmed through, about 90 seconds.
Step 5
Serve hot straight from the skillet with crusty bread if desired.
