Ingredients
- 2 packs Italian sausage of your choice
- 2 12 oz. bottles of a dark lager style beer (do not spend too much money as it is just a marinade)

Instructions
- In a pan, place the sausage in a single layer and pierce several times with a fork.
- Add thinly sliced white onions, and cover with beer.
- Refrigerate over night and allow the flavors to marry
- Cut red pepper, green pepper, and remaining onion in thin strips, season with steak seasoning and reserve in a pan.
- Preheat your grill - preferably your charcoal grill and place marinated sausages on rack.
- Cook until temperature reaches 160 degree internal temperature.
- While the sausage is cooking cook the peppers and onions in the pan on the grill until tender.
- Place your buns on the grill to get a light char and place the cooked sausage inside
- Top with the sauteed peppers and Dijon mustard

Goodness these look good. Will be trying this very soon.
Thanks Leslie. I love a good one pan meal on the grill! Enjoy.
My husband makes beer marinated bratwurst and its delicious! I am going to have to ask him to add peppers like your next time. I am a bit confused though. Do you cook the sausages and peppers separately on the grill after marinating?
Rachel, thanks for asking. I cook the onions and peppers separately, a lot of times the night before. You can take precooked sausage and add it in the marinate (peppers, onions, et al) and put it in the fridge. I wouldn’t add it though unless it was precooked or smoked. I am funny about pork and sausage. Then, when you are ready to serve, reheat the marinate while you grill or cook up the sausage. I do them separately. Less work and mess if you are grilling to entertain. You can have it all hot and ready to go in a matter of minutes! I like my sausage blackened and ready to pop. You can cook to order by doing them separate. I reheat the marinade in a pan. Let me know how it comes out!
