Gourmet Beef Sausages

Cooking the perfect sausage involves a few key steps to ensure it’s just right. Here’s our simple tips: 1) Oven Bake: Preheat your oven to medium-low (130C). Lightly oil the oven tray. Place the sausages on the tray and cook, turning occasionally, for about 10-15 minutes or until they reach an internal temperature of (66°C). Aim for a nice brown color on the outside. 2) Pan-Frying: Heat a skillet over medium-low heat and add a little tallow if desired. Place the sausages in the skillet and cook for about 10-12 minutes, turning regularly to brown all sides evenly. Reduce heat if they start to brown too quickly and ensure they’re cooked through. 3) BBQ: Preheat your BBQ to a low heat (140°C). Place the sausages on the BBQ plate, turning regularly to brown evenly. BBQ for 10-15 minutes. 4) Boiling: Place sausages in a pot of cold water and bring to a simmer over low- medium heat. Water should just be simmering. Cook for about 10-15 minutes. This method keeps them juicy but can lack browning. Finish quickly on how fry pan if browning is desired. For added flavor, you may simmer them in broth or beer. Further Tips for the Perfect Sausage: Don’t Pierce: Avoid pricking the sausages while cooking, as this can release juices and lead to dryness. Let Rest: After cooking, let the sausages rest for a few minutes to retain their juices. Check Internal Temperature: Use a meat thermometer to ensure they are cooked through without overcooking. Aim for 66 - 70C (remember that they continue to cook after removing from the heat! Enjoy!
