We know most of you meat–lovers wouldn’t be afraid to bite straight into the bear meat “Strausage” crafted by Sonny D’Angelo and your very own Street writers, but for those of you who might be feeling a little a little hesitate to dig right in, we’ve crafted the Strausage Sandwich. Though we recommend pairing with caramelized onions and arugula, the versatile Strausage can go with any ingredients you like.
Yields: 1 Strausage Sandwich
Cook time: 35–40 minutes
Ingredients:
1 Strausage (Note: If you’re finding a bear meat, herb, and blueberry sausage difficult to come by, a mild Italian sausage makes a delicious–though far less exciting–substitute.)
1 6-inch Italian hoagie roll
1 medium onion
A handful of arugula
Honey Mustard
1 tbsp olive oil
Directions:
Step 1: Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
Step 2: Start caramelizing the onions.
Step 3: After the onions have been cooking for about 10 minutes, it’s time to put your Strausage in the oven. This is the easiest part: just plop it in a pan and stick it in the oven. After about 15 minutes, flip the sausage over. It’ll take about 20 minutes to cook, and should be firm without any pink in the middle. As you’re cooking your sausage, make sure you continue to caramelize your onions.
Step 4: Take the onions off the heat, which should be brown and nicely caramelized. While the onions cool and your sausage rests, slice the Italian rolls and warm them in the oven for a few minutes.
Step 5: Assemble your sandwich. Start with a layer of mustard on both sides of your roll. Place the sausage on top of a bed of arugula, and coat it with a heaping layer of caramelized onions.
Step 6: Now devour your creation like the carnivores animal you are.
