Questions about Beef sausage
How do you cook beef sausages in a frying pan?
Put them in a cold or lightly oiled pan over a medium-low heat and turn regularly for about 15–20 minutes, so the skins brown without splitting before the centres cook. Check that the middle reaches 75 °C; thicker sausages may need longer.
Can you cook beef sausages in the oven?
Heat the oven to 200 °C (180 °C fan), arrange the sausages in one layer on a baking tray and roast for about 25 minutes, turning once. Make sure the centre reaches 75 °C before serving.
How can you tell when a beef sausage is cooked through?
Use a food thermometer in the thickest sausage: the centre should reach 75 °C. If you do not have one, cut into the thickest one; the meat should be steaming hot all the way through, with no raw-looking centre.
What can you serve with beef sausages?
They work well with mashed potato and onion gravy, or with baked beans and tomatoes for breakfast. For a tray bake, roast them with potatoes, red onion and peppers, adding the sausages for the final 25 minutes or until cooked through.
Can you freeze beef sausages?
Yes. Freeze them in a sealed bag or container while fresh, ideally separated into portions so you can take out only what you need. Defrost in the fridge and cook within a day; do not refreeze them raw after thawing.
