Instructions
This recipe can be cooked on a grill or stovetop. If grilling, prepare a medium-hot grill and a No.10 Field Skillet on top. If cooking indoors, preheat a No.10 Field Skillet for a few minutes over medium heat.
Add the oil and heat until it shimmers. Add the peppers and onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, 8 to 10 minutes. Season with salt. Add the sausages, beer, vinegar, and sugar. Bring the liquid to a simmer, then cover the skillet and cook, turning the sausages over every 5 minutes, until the sausages are almost cooked through (they should register 140°F on an instant-read thermometer), 10 to 15 minutes.
If cooking on a grill, move the skillet to the side and transfer the sausages to the grill grates. Grill, turning occasionally, until the sausages are browned and crisp, 2 to 3 minutes. If cooking indoors, transfer the contents of a skillet to a bowl, then wipe out the skillet and add a tablespoon of oil. Heat the oil over medium-high heat until it shimmers, then add the sausage and cook, turning occasionally, until browned and crisp, 2 to 3 minutes.
Divide the sausages among the hero rolls and serve the peppers and onions alongside for topping, along with your favorite condiments (we love spicy brown mustard on these).
