Heat oil on medium-high heat in a large skillet until hot, but not smoking. Add sausage (sliced or pieces) and chopped onion to skillet. Sauté for 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until sausage is lightly browned and almost cooked through. Add minced garlic and stir, to combine. Cook for 1 minute, stirring often, so garlic doesn't burn/become bitter.
