Method

For the Grillades

  1. 1

    Prepare the Beef

    Season the beef round steak with salt and black pepper on both sides.

  2. 2

    Sear the Steak

    In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned steak and sear for about 4-5 minutes on each side until browned. Remove the steak and set aside.

  3. 3

    Sauté the Vegetables

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

    Return the Beef

    Slice the seared steak into strips and return to the skillet. Cover and let simmer on low heat for about 1.5 hours, until the beef is tender.

  6. 6

    Finish with Parsley

    Remove the bay leaves and stir in the fresh parsley before serving.
