Step 1
Heat a large skillet over medium-high. Add sausages and cook 12 minutes, turning every 3 minutes, until golden brown all over.
Step 2
Transfer sausages to a plate. Add onion to the same skillet with a pinch of salt; sauté 4 minutes until soft and just starting to color.
Step 3
Pour in stock and Worcestershire sauce, scraping up any browned bits. Stir in mustard and thyme.
Step 4
Return sausages to the skillet. Simmer 2 minutes until gravy thickens slightly. Season with coarse black pepper.
Step 5
Slide sausages and gravy onto a plate. Serve with crusty bread or mashed potatoes.
