Toppings

Method

Beef and Sauce Preparation

  1. 1

    Sear the Beef

    In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Season the chuck roast with salt and black pepper. Sear the roast on all sides until browned, about 4-5 minutes per side. Remove from skillet and set aside.

  2. 2

    Sauté Vegetables

    In the same skillet, add chopped onion and red bell pepper. Sauté until softened, about 5 minutes. Add minced garlic and sauté for an additional minute until fragrant.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Sauce

    In a large slow cooker, combine the sautéed vegetables, diced tomatoes, beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, oregano, thyme, and additional salt and pepper to taste.

  4. 4

    Combine and Cook

    Place the seared roast into the slow cooker. Cover and cook on low for 8 hours or until the beef is tender and easily shreds with a fork.

Creamy Grits Preparation

  1. 5

    Boil Water

    In a medium saucepan, bring the water to a boil. Add salt to taste.

  2. 6

    Cook Grits

    Gradually whisk in the stone ground grits, reduce heat to low, and cover. Cook, stirring occasionally, for about 20-25 minutes or until the grits are thick and creamy.

  3. 7

    Add Cream and Butter

    Once the grits are cooked, stir in the heavy cream and butter. Adjust salt to taste and keep warm until ready to serve.

Assembly and Serving

  1. 8

    Serve the Dish

    Spoon a generous amount of creamy grits onto each plate. Top with the shredded Mississippi roast beef and sauce. Garnish with pickled okra and additional chopped bell pepper if desired.
