Time 2h15m

Number Of Ingredients 22

For the Grillades
2 lbs round steak (pounded to 1/4 inch thickness and cut into 2 inch squares)
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon Creole Seasoning
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
2 medium yellow onions (diced)
2 cloves garlic (minced)
1 large red bell pepper (about 1 cup, diced)
1/2 cup celery (diced)
2 cups tomatoes (diced or 1 (14 oz) can diced tomatoes, drained)
1/3 cup all-purpose flour
5 tablespoons unsalted butter or 5 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
3 cups beef broth
1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
3 bay leaves
1 tablespoon Creole seasoning (see below)
2 tablespoons fresh parsley (chopped)
For the Grits
1 cup stone-ground old-fashioned grits
5 cups milk
1 teaspoon salt

Steps:

  • Combine the 1/2 cup flour, salt and one teaspoon of Creole Seasoning in a shallow bowl. Dredge the pieces of beef in the flour, shaking off the excess and transfer to a large plate.
  • Heat the oil in a stainless steel skillet over medium-high heat until hot but not smoking. Place the beef in the skillet, being careful not to overcrowd, and fry on both sides until browned. Transfer the beef to a plate.
  • Saute the onions in the skillet until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and saute for another minute. Add the bell pepper and celery and saute until soft, about 5-7 minutes. Add the tomatoes and saute for another 4-5 minutes, scraping up any browned bits in the skillet. Transfer the vegetables to a bowl.
  • Melt the 5 tablespoons of butter or olive in the same skillet over medium heat. Add the 1/3 cup flour and whisk constantly until the mixture is a rich brown, about 4 minutes. Add the beef broth and red wine vinegar, whisking continually until the mixture is smooth and thickened.
  • Return the vegetables to the skillet and add the Creole Seasoning and bay leaves. Return the beef to the skillet and bring to a simmer. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 1 1/2 hours or until the meat is very tender, stirring occasionally.Stir in the parsley and simmer for another 5 minutes. Add salt and pepper to taste. Remove the bay leaves.
  • Serve the grillades and gravy ladled over hot grits (see below).
  • For the Grits: In a 5-quart pot over medium-high heat, bring the milk and salt to a simmer, stirring regularly to prevent the milk from burning.
  • Slowly add the grits in a steady stream, whisking constantly to prevent lumps. Add the salt. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and cook for about 30 minutes, stirring occasionally until the grits are thick and tender.

Tips:

  • For the best results, use high-quality grits. Look for grits that are made from stone-ground cornmeal, as they will have a more flavorful and creamy texture.
  • Be sure to season your grits well. Salt and pepper are essential, but you can also add other seasonings to taste, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or cayenne pepper.
  • Don't overcook your grits. They should be cooked until they are tender but still have a slight bite to them.
  • When making grillades, be sure to use a heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven. This will help to prevent the meat from burning.
  • Brown the meat well before adding the other ingredients. This will help to develop flavor and prevent the meat from becoming tough.
  • Simmer the grillades for at least 1 hour, or until the meat is fall-apart tender.
  • Serve the grillades and grits with your favorite toppings, such as hot sauce, pickled onions, or fried eggs.

Conclusion:

Grillades and grits is a classic Southern dish that is both flavorful and comforting. It is a perfect meal for a lazy Sunday brunch or a weeknight dinner. With a few simple tips, you can easily make this dish at home and enjoy it with your family and friends.
