Method

For the Grillades

  1. 1

    Prepare the Meat

    Cut the beef into 1/2 inch thick slices and season with salt and black pepper on both sides.

  2. 2

    Brown the Meat

    In a large skillet or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the beef slices and brown them on both sides, about 4-5 minutes per side. Remove the beef and set aside.

  3. 3

    Sauté Vegetables

    In the same skillet, add the diced onion, green bell pepper, celery, and garlic. Sauté until the vegetables are softened, about 5-7 minutes.

  4. 4

    Simmer the Sauce

    Add the diced tomatoes, beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, thyme, bay leaves, and cayenne pepper to the skillet. Stir to combine.

  5. 5

    Combine and Cook

    Return the browned beef to the skillet. Cover and let simmer on low heat for 1.5 to 2 hours, until the meat is tender.

For the Grits

  1. 6

    Boil Water

    In a medium saucepan, bring 4 cups of water to a boil. Add 1 teaspoon of salt.

  2. 7

    Cook the Grits

    Gradually whisk in the grits, reduce the heat to low, and cook, stirring occasionally, until thickened, about 20-25 minutes.

  3. 8

    Add Butter and Cheese

    Once the grits are cooked, remove from heat and stir in the butter and shredded cheddar cheese until melted and creamy.
