About the dish

Rostbrätel is a traditional dish originating from the region of Thuringia. The dish is made with a combination of pork neck, onions, mustard, salt, pepper, garlic, butter, and dark beer. The sliced pork neck is tenderized and marinated in salt, pepper, mustard, onions, and dark beer. It is then grilled over charcoal, and as it cooks, the meat is basted with the marinade. Once done, rostbrätel is topped with pan-fried onions and garlic before serving. It’s recommended to pair the dish with a glass of dark beer and serve it with bread rolls or potato salad on the side as accompaniments.
