Description

A classic Australian sausage sizzle made with juicy grilled beef sausages, soft white bread, sweet golden onions, tomato sauce, and optional mustard.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 beef sausages, about 680 g total
  • 8 slices white sandwich bread
  • 2 medium brown onions, thinly sliced
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/2 cup tomato sauce
  • 1/4 cup yellow mustard, optional
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  1. Heat a large frying pan or barbecue hotplate over medium heat for 3 to 4 minutes.
  2. Place sliced onions in a bowl with olive oil, salt, and black pepper, then toss until lightly coated.
  3. Add onions to one side of the pan and sausages to the other side.
  4. Cook sausages for 12 to 15 minutes, turning often, until browned and cooked through.
  5. Stir onions regularly until soft and golden.
  6. Rest sausages for 2 minutes.
  7. Place one sausage diagonally on each slice of bread.
  8. Top with warm onions, tomato sauce, and mustard if using.
  9. Fold the bread around the sausage and serve warm.

Notes

  • Use medium heat so the sausages cook evenly without splitting.
  • Cook the onions slowly for a sweeter flavor.
  • Add sauce just before serving to keep the bread from getting soggy.
  • Store cooked sausages separately from bread for best leftovers.
