BEEF TENDERLOIN STEAKS WITH CREOLE SPICE RUB
This recipe is from Cooking Light magazine. It is also good on chicken breasts, shrimp, or pork tenderloin. I make the rub and cover the steaks with it before I stick them in the freezer for a make-ahead meal. When they are thawed they are ready to go straight to the grill.

DAVID'S CREOLE BEEF DAUBE
My mother has been begging me to make a Daube, I will later this week. So while it's on my mind... The roux is the rock star in this dish as it brings a richness and flavor to a beef stew that no other ingredient can. In this case the darker the roux... The better it will be. My version is mostly Creole but has some traditional...

Steps:
- 1. Cut chuck roast into large chunks, nothing specific just larger than bite sized.
- 2. Follow the link below for both the can of tomato sauce, then separately for the tomato paste. This eliminates the bitterness that the can puts into the contents. Remember only to purchase high end sauce and paste, it will be less bitter from the beginning and you will have a much better final dish. https://www.justapinch.com/recipes/sauce-spread/sauce-spread-other-sauce-spread/removing-the-bitter-taste-from-canned-tomatoes.html
- 3. Chop onions, celery, bell pepper, parsnips, carrots, potatoes and garlic set asside
- 4. In a deep heavy pot put about 2 tablespoons of canola oil on med high heat. Once hot start to brown the chunks of chuck. Brown on all sides and set aside. Continue until all beef is browned. DO NOT EMPTY THE POT. These wonderful drippings will add lots of flavor to your Daube in the next step.
- 5. After chuck is browned, take the chopped up parsnips, carrots and potatoes and brown in the beef drippings, then set aside. If you have previously made your roux add it now, If not scrape out everything you can from the pot and put in a dish for use later. Now make your roux and make it VERY DARK!
- 6. Now you have made your roux in the cleaned pot, or if you made some previously put in pot and bring to hot temp. Once the roux is ready add the aromatics and chopped garlic, cooked until tender.
- 7. Now add the saved drippings and mix well. Then add the browned potatoes, carrots mix to the hot roux then mix well. Next add the browned chuck. Add the tomato sauce, tomato paste and bay leaves and mix well. Cook this about 10 minutes, mixing every couple of minutes.
- 8. Once mixture is hot add both cups of wine then mix well and allow to simmer for about 10 minutes mixing every couple of minutes. Now add 1 large container of beef broth and stir. You will only add from the beef broth in the ingredients that you will actually need to use. You probably will only use 1 1/2 of the containers of broth. I just want you to have enough on hand that you don't need to add any water, only the broth. You want the total liquid to just cover, at the level of pots contents if you go over a bit that's ok. It will cook down. If needed add more beef broth as this cooks down. You don't want to over do the liquid in this dish. When finished the liquid needs to be thick. Cook for about an hour after everything is in the pot, stirring occasionally. Always stir from the bottom of the pot to keep anything from sticking.
- 9. This dish cooks down best if you keep it covered between steps above but isn't necessary. Make sure you stir regularly, always stirring from the bottom
CREOLE BEEF GRILLADES AND CHEESE GRITS
Steps:
- Make the Beef Grillades: Mix the spices together. Season the beef with salt and pepper. Season the flour with the Creole spices and reserve 1/4 cup. Put the remaining 1 3/4 cups flour in a large, shallow bowl, and then dredge the beef in the flour, shaking off the excess. Heat the rendered bacon fat or butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the cutlets until golden brown, about 2 minutes on each side, making sure not to overcrowd the pan (you might have to cook in batches). Set aside the cooked cutlets on a paper towel-lined plate. Add the onions to the same pan, lower the heat to medium, and cook until the onions are a deep mahogany color, about 10 minutes. Add the celery, bell peppers and garlic and cook for another 5 minutes. Add a tablespoon of the reserved seasoned flour to the pan and mix well. Add the tomatoes and beef stock to the pan and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to low and stir in the thyme, red pepper flakes, bay leaf and Worcestershire sauce; return the beef cutlets to the pan. Cover and simmer for 45 minutes, or until the meat is fork-tender. Discard the bay leaf. add hot sauce to taste and more salt and pepper as desired. To serve, put a heaping spoonful of Cheese Grits on a serving plate, top with 2 or 3 pieces of beef, and spoon the sauce over the meat. Garnish with scallions. Make the Cheese Grits: In a large saucepan over high heat, bring 5 cups of salted water to a boil while slowly whisking in the grits. Reduce the heat to medium low; cover and cook for 25 to 30 minutes, stirring occasionally and making sure the grits aren't sticking to the bottom of the pan; adjust the heat to low if the grits are cooking too quickly. Remove the cooked grits from the heat and stir in the butter, mascarpone or cream cheese and grated cheese. Season with sat to taste and serve warm.
BEEF TENDERLOIN W/2 SAUCES: HORSERADISH & CREOLE MUSTARD
This is awesome! Ususally, I don't like anything extra on my steak but this is wonderful! These sauces are great but that doesn't mean you have to eat it with the sauce. This tenderloin recipe is Courtesy of Emeril Lagasse, 2003. The Creole Seasoning comes from "New New Orleans Cooking" by Emeril Lagasse and Jessie Tirsch. Published by William and Morrow, 1993. The Creole Mustard Dressing is courtesy of "Louisianna Real and Rustic" by Emeril Lagasse and Marcelle Bienvenu, William Morrow Publishers. This roast can be used cold; the day before roast the meat and place on a platter and wrap tightly in saran wrap or aluminum foil, just let rest 40 minutes before refrigeration.

CREOLE STYLE BEEF TENDERLOIN STEAKS
This is a super simple and quick way to prepare steaks with a Creole flair and a bit of kick from the warm spices and red pepper (paprika). As written, it provides a nice "kick" without being overwhelming. But if you prefer a more intense heat, then feel free to increase the amount of red pepper flakes (or more paprika) for...

Steps:
- 1. In a small bowl, thoroughly combine the mustard, garlic powder, onion powder, oregano, sage, thyme, salt, pepper, red pepper flakes and cumin. Sprinkle the rub over each steak then rub it in so the rub is incorporated into the meat. Turn steaks, and repeat by rubbing the spice rub into the other side of each steak.
- 2. Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Coat skillet with the cooking spray. Add steaks to skillet, and sauté for about 4 to 5 minutes. Turn steaks and cook other side for another 4 minutes or until cooked to desired doneness.
- 3. Remove steaks from skillet and let stand about 5 to 10 minutes before serving (to allow flavors to meld).
Tips:
- Use high-quality beef: The better the quality of the beef, the better the dish will taste. Look for well-marbled cuts of meat that are free of gristle and fat.
- Brown the beef in batches: This will help to prevent the beef from overcrowding the pan and steaming instead of browning.
- Use a heavy-bottomed pot: This will help to evenly distribute the heat and prevent the food from burning.
- Cook the beef low and slow: This will allow the flavors to develop and the beef to become tender.
- Don't be afraid to experiment with different spices and seasonings: Creole cuisine is all about big, bold flavors, so don't be afraid to experiment with different spices and seasonings to create your own unique dish.
