• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard

Directions

Step 1

Slice the kielbasa into 1/2-inch thick rounds and set aside.

Preheat a large skillet over medium heat.

Step 4

Add the kielbasa slices to the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until lightly browned.

Step 5

Pour the prepared glaze over the kielbasa in the skillet, stirring to coat all pieces evenly.

Step 6

Lower the heat to medium-low and allow the kielbasa to simmer in the glaze for about 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens slightly and adheres to the sausage.
