Preparation Steps:

• Start by gathering all your ingredients. Chop your onions finely and set them aside. If you’re using refrigerated sauerkraut, you can warm it in a small saucepan over low heat to bring out its flavors.
• Preheat your grill or stovetop pan over medium heat. Place the beef frankfurters on the grill, turning occasionally, until they are heated through and have nice grill marks, around 5 to 7 minutes. If you prefer a stovetop method, you can boil them in water for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a hot pan to sear.
• Once the frankfurters are nearly done, you can add the hot dog buns to the grill or pan. Toast them for about 1-2 minutes until they are warm and slightly crispy on the outside.
• Place each grilled frankfurter into a toasted bun. Top generously with warm sauerkraut, followed by a heap of chopped onions. Finally, drizzle with spicy brown mustard to finish off your classic Coney Island hot dog.
• Place the assembled hot dogs on a serving platter and enjoy them immediately while they’re hot. Pair them with your favorite sides, like coleslaw or potato salad, for a truly classic meal.
