Step 1
Heat oil in a 12-inch cast-iron skillet over medium-high until shimmering, about 90 seconds.
Step 2
Arrange bratwurst in a single layer. Sear without moving for 3 minutes until golden on bottom.
Step 3
Roll each bratwurst with tongs and sear the next side for 3 minutes.
Step 4
Push bratwurst to the sides. Add onion to the center and cook, stirring, for 3 minutes until softened.
Step 5
Pour beer into the skillet. Add caraway seeds and mustard, stirring gently to combine.
Step 6
Simmer for 4 minutes until beer reduces slightly and bratwurst reaches 160°F internally.
Step 7
Serve bratwurst with caramelized onions, pan sauce, and whole grain mustard on crusty bread.
