As someone who loves exploring new kinds of plant-based proteins, I was excited to try Beyond Sausage recently. This innovative sausage alternative is made entirely from plants, but manages to replicate the texture, sizzle, and mouthwatering flavor of traditional pork sausage. I’ve found that cooking Beyond Sausage on the stovetop is a quick and easy way to enjoy this tasty meat substitute Here’s my guide to getting perfect results every time.
Selecting the Right Beyond Sausage
Beyond Meat actually offers several varieties of Beyond Sausage to choose from Their Brat Original has the classic seasoned taste of traditional bratwurst sausage. For something spicier, go for the Hot Italian, flavored with garlic, herbs and fennel. If you like things on the sweet side, the Sweet Italian is flavored with garlic, parsley and basil. All three varieties are soy and gluten free
Preparing the Stovetop
Cooking Beyond Sausage on the stove is simple. First, select a skillet or frying pan that will give the sausages room without crowding. I prefer non-stick skillets since the sausages won’t stick, but any skillet will work. Heat the pan over medium-high heat until hot. Then, add about a tablespoon of oil, just enough to lightly coat the bottom of the pan. The oil helps prevent sticking.
Adding the Sausages
Once your pan is hot and oiled carefully add the Beyond Sausages. I recommend using tongs to gently place each one in the pan. Resist the urge to overcrowd them. Too many in the pan may cause uneven cooking. For four sausages, give each one space to lay flat.
Cooking Time
This is where things differ from traditional pork sausage. Beyond Sausage needs thorough cooking since it’s plant-based. I cook mine for 6-7 minutes per side, longer than the package time. Frequently turn the sausages to promote even browning. Beyond Sausage will plump up slightly as it cooks. Use tongs to gently press and roll the sausages to cook all sides.
Checking for Doneness
After cooking for 12-14 minutes total, pierce a sausage with a fork or knife tip. There should be no pink color inside. The center should be lightly browned throughout. If needed, cook another minute or two until the internal color is uniform. These aren’t raw meat so they don’t need to reach any temperature, just be browned through.
Serving Suggestions
Beyond Sausage tastes delicious on its own, or add it to pasta, sandwiches, pizza and more. I like using the Sweet Italian in scrambled eggs for breakfast. The Brat Original is great in mac and cheese or baked beans. Get creative with recipes!
With this easy stovetop method, you can enjoy the satisfying meaty texture and flavor of Beyond Sausage anytime. The plant-based “meat” browns up nicely and cooks in under 15 minutes. Just be sure to cook thoroughly until the inside loses all pink color. Beyond Sausage makes it so easy to incorporate tasty plant-based protein into your diet.
