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.

  • In a large, cast iron pot, heat the oil. When the oil is hot, add the veal. Cook until the meat is browned on both sides, 5 to 6 minutes. Add the onions, bell peppers and celery. Season with salt and cayenne. Continue stirring, scraping the bottom and sides of the pot to loosen any browned particles. Cook for 5 to 6 minutes, or until the vegetables are wilted.

Stir for 30 seconds, then add 1 cup of the cheese and stir until the cheese melts. Cook, uncovered, for 4 to 5 minutes, stirring constantly, until the grits are tender and creamy. Pour the grits into a greased square glass pan. Sprinkle the remaining cheese over the grits. Place in the oven and bake for 10 to 15 minutes or until the cheese is melted and slightly golden.
  • To serve, spoon the grits in the center of each plate. Spoon the greens around the grits. Spoon the veal mixture over the grits. Garnish with green onions and parsley.

Cook, stirring, until the onions are wilted and golden, 6 to 7 minutes. Add the brown sugar and stir to dissolve. Add the shallots and garlic and cook, stirring, for 2 minutes. Add the water and vinegar and mix well. Begin adding the greens, about a third at a time, pressing the greens down as they begin to wilt. Season with salt and pepper.

CHICKEN CHASSEUR (HUNTER-STYLE CHICKEN)



Chicken Chasseur (Hunter-style Chicken) image

Provided by Bobby Flay

Categories     main-dish

Time 50m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 (4-pound) chicken, quartered
Salt and pepper
Clarified butter
5 ounces cremini mushrooms, emincer (thinly sliced)
1 large shallot, ciseler (fine dice)
2 ounces Cognac
2 ounces dry white wine
1 1/2 cups enriched chicken stock
1/4 cup tomato concasse (peeled, seeded, and diced tomato)
1-ounce cold butter
1 teaspoon finely chopped fresh tarragon leaves
1 teaspoon finely chopped fresh chervil leaves or flat-leaf parsley

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
  • Season chicken pieces on both sides with salt and pepper. Heat a few tablespoons of clarified butter in a Dutch oven over high heat. Place chicken in skin side down and cook until golden brown. Turn the chicken over and brown the other side. Remove chicken to a baking sheet and bake in the oven until just cooked through, about 12 to 15 minutes.
  • Remove all but 2 tablespoons of the fat from the pan. Add the mushrooms, season with salt and pepper, and saute until golden brown. Add the shallots and cook for 30 seconds. Remove the pan from the heat and add the Cognac and cook until completely reduced. Add the wine and cook until completely reduced. Add the stock and tomato and bring to a simmer. Cook until the sauce is thick enough to coat the back of a spoon ("nappe") and then swirl in the butter ("monter au beurre"). Once the butter is added, the sauce can not be further reduced because it will break. Season with salt and pepper and stir in the tarragon and chervil.
  • Remove the chicken from the oven and let rest for 5 minutes. Remove the breastbone from the breast. Cut each breast into 2 even pieces on the bias. Cut the legs into 2 pieces at the joint and on the bias and remove the thighbones. Serve 1 leg piece and 1 breast piece. Make sure only 1 piece contains a bone. Serve on hot plates, napped with the sauce.

Provided by Karen Waters

Categories     100+ Everyday Cooking Recipes

Time 2h35m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 20

1 (3 pound) boneless beef chuck roast, cut into 1-inch cubes
kosher salt to taste
ground black pepper to taste
¼ teaspoon garlic powder, or to taste
⅓ cup all-purpose flour
½ cup vegetable oil
1 large green bell pepper, chopped
2 onions, chopped
1 cup diced celery
3 large cloves garlic, minced
¼ cup all-purpose flour
4 cups beef broth
3 bay leaves
1 teaspoon dried thyme
2 tablespoons hot sauce
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon dried basil
2 (10 ounce) cans diced tomatoes with green chile peppers (such as RO*TEL®)
1 teaspoon salt
½ cup chopped fresh parsley leaves

Steps:

  • Season beef cubes with kosher salt, black pepper, and garlic powder in a large bowl.
