Step 1
Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high. Add sausages and sear 2 minutes per side until golden, then remove to a plate.
Step 2
In the same skillet, add sliced onions and cook, stirring, until soft and starting to caramelize, about 6 minutes.
Step 3
Pour beer into the skillet and scrape up any browned bits. Add caraway seeds and stir.
Step 4
Return sausages to the skillet and nestle them into the onions. Simmer 8 minutes until sausages are cooked through.
Step 5
Stir mustard into the onion mixture. Cook 1 more minute until sauce thickens slightly and onions glaze.
Step 6
Serve hot with sausages and beer onions spooned over. Crusty bread or pretzels optional.
