FILET MIGNON GRILLADES AND GRITS
Steps:
- Make the Grillades: Gently pound the filet tips with a smooth meat mallet to approximately 1/4-inch thickness. Place the seasoned flour in a bowl. Sprinkle the cutlets with salt and pepper, dust them with the seasoned flour, and shake any excess back into the bowl. Reserve 1/4 cup of the seasoned flour.
- Heat 1 tablespoon canola oil and 1/2 tablespoon butter in a heavy pot or Dutch oven over high heat. Working in 3 batches, saute the floured cutlets, turning once, until well browned, about 30 seconds per side. (Add some of the remaining 1 tablespoon canola oil and 1/2 tablespoon of butter between the second and third batches.) Transfer the grillades to a plate. Scrape the pot with a wooden spoon to remove any particles from the bottom.
- Add the peppers, celery, onion, and garlic to the pot, and scrape the bottom with a wooden spoon. Season with salt and pepper, cover, and cook until tender and brown, about 8 minutes. Add the reserved seasoned flour to the vegetables and cook, stirring, until any liquid is absorbed and the vegetables start turning a darker brown, about 1 1/2 minutes. Scrape the bottom of the pot with a wooden spoon to cook the flour and give the sauce some color. Add the wine, lower the heat, and simmer for 2 minutes.
- Gradually stir in the stock, again scraping the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon, and bring to a boil. Add the tomatoes, bring to a boil again, and reduce to a slow simmer. Simmer until the sauce is thick enough to coat the back of the spoon, about 30 to 45 minutes. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.
- Make the Grits: Heat the butter in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add the onion and cook, stirring, until translucent, about 4 minutes. Add the milk and season with salt and pepper, to taste. Bring to a simmer while stirring occasionally. Add the grits, stir thoroughly to blend with the milk, and boil for about 2 minutes. Reduce the heat and simmer, stirring frequently, until the grits thicken, about 20 to 30 minutes. Stir in the thyme. Cover, turn off the heat, and let rest for 10 minutes. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.
- To serve, place 4 pieces of the grillade on each plate spoon some of the vegetables and sauce over the top. Sprinkle with green onions and spoon a portion of grits in center of each plate.

Steps:
- Season beef cubes with kosher salt, black pepper, and garlic powder in a large bowl.
- Dust beef with 1/3 cup flour and toss lightly to coat.
- Heat vegetable oil in a large pot over medium heat. Cook and stir beef in the hot oil until evenly browned, 7 to 10 minutes.
- Remove beef with slotted spoon; transfer to a bowl.
- Stir bell pepper, onion, celery, and garlic into the oil left in the pot; cook and stir until vegetables are lightly browned, 8 to 10 minutes.
- Remove vegetables with a slotted spoon and add to the bowl of beef. Drain oil, reserving about 3 tablespoons in the pot. Reduce heat to low.
- Gradually whisk 1/4 cup flour into the reserved oil until you achieve a dark golden-brown roux, 10 to 15 minutes. Stir constantly and watch carefully; roux burns easily.
- Slowly pour beef broth into the roux while stirring; bring to a simmer, and cook until thickened, stirring constantly, about 3 minutes.
- Return the beef and vegetables to the pot. Add bay leaves, thyme, hot sauce, Worcestershire sauce, basil, tomatoes with green chiles, and 1 teaspoon salt.
- Bring to a boil over medium heat, then reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until beef is tender, about 1 1/2 hours, stirring occasionally. Remove bay leaves and stir in chopped parsley to serve.

Tips:
- Choose the right cut of beef. A well-marbled cut of beef, such as chuck roast or flank steak, will yield the most flavorful grillades.
- Marinate the beef. Marinating the beef in a flavorful mixture of seasonings, such as garlic, onion, and Worcestershire sauce, will help to tenderize the meat and add flavor.
- Cook the beef over medium-high heat. This will help to sear the outside of the beef and lock in the juices.
- Don't overcook the beef. Grillades are best when they are cooked to medium-rare or medium, so that they remain tender and juicy.
- Serve the grillades with your favorite sides. Cheesy fresh corn and sweet onion grits are a classic pairing, but you can also serve grillades with mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a simple green salad.
