Grits & Grillades Recipe

Cooking Instructions

1. 1

   Prepare the Grits

   In a large pot, bring 4 cups of water to a boil. Add the salt and slowly stir in the grits. Reduce heat to low and simmer, stirring occasionally, until thickened (about 20-25 minutes). Stir in the cheddar cheese until melted and creamy. Set aside.

2. 2

   Cook the Steak

   Season the steak with salt and black pepper. In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Sear the steak for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until cooked to your desired doneness. Remove the steak from the skillet and let it rest before slicing.

3. 3

   Make the Grillades Sauce

   In the same skillet, add the diced onion and bell pepper. Sauté for about 5 minutes until softened. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute. Stir in the tomato paste, chicken broth, Worcestershire sauce, cayenne pepper, and bring to a simmer. Let it cook for about 10 minutes to develop the flavors.

4. 4

   Serve

   Slice the rested steak and place it over a bed of grits. Spoon the grillades sauce over the steak and grits. Garnish with chopped scallions before serving.
