Rostbrätel
A Rostbrätel (also Thuringian Rostbrätel , Brätel , Brätl ) is a marinated slice of pork neck that is grilled over charcoal . This is a Thuringian specialty , which, along with the Thuringian Rostbratwurst, is the country's second grill specialty, which is often grilled in a rustic style at folk festivals.
The name Rostbrätel is particularly common in West and South Thuringia , in some areas (e.g. Jena ) the old name Rostbrätchen has been retained. Colloquially in Thuringia, “rust” is used for “grill” and “roast” (also “roast”) for “grilling”.
For traditional preparation, the two to three centimeters thick neck chops (with or without bones) are plated flat. Of Pilsener beer or black beer with onions , garlic , mustard , cumin , marjoram , salt and coarse black pepper a marinade made. The grilled roast meats are marinated cold for 12 to 48 hours. The patties are completely covered in marinade so that they don't dry out on the surface.

Roast roast in marinade
For roasting, the charcoal grill is not overheated, the grate is rubbed with bacon to prevent sticking, and the meat is placed on the grill . While the meat is cooking over a moderate heat, the marinade is poured over it after each turning or sprayed directly from the bottle with lightly shaken beer. This serves to improve the taste, but also prevents the meat on the top from drying out. In addition, the brewing temperature is regulated by the beer dripping onto the glowing charcoal, and the rising steam contributes significantly to the cooking and flavor development. Roasted roasted meats are usually served with roasted onions , which were previously part of the marinade, i.e. also pickled, and then grilled next to the meat on the grill until they are translucent and soft and their taste is sweet.
