Ingredients
- 1 pound pork Cumberland sausage (coiled or long)
- 1 large yellow onion, sliced into thin half-moons
- ½ cup beef broth
- 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tsp fresh thyme leaves
- 1 tbsp whole grain mustard (optional but recommended)
Instructions
- 1
Heat oil in a 12-inch skillet over medium-high until shimmering.
- 2
Coil the sausage into a spiral or lay it in a loose coil. Slide it into the pan and let it sit 3 minutes without moving — edges should brown.
- 3
Flip the coiled sausage carefully and cook another 3 minutes until the other side is golden. Transfer to a plate.
- 4
Add onions to the same skillet and cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until soft and caramelized — about 8 minutes.
- 5
Pour in broth, Worcestershire, and thyme. Scrape up any browned bits. Return the sausage to the pan and simmer 4 minutes until sauce thickens slightly.
- 6
Stir in mustard if using. Serve the sausage coil with the gravy spooned over.
