Grits and Grillades

Mom would cook this for breakfast sometimes and it was very good!


You will need:

2 lbs of beef round, thinly sliced
6 tablespoons of bacon drippings or salad oil
4 tablespoons of all purpose flour
1 medium onion, chopped
1 cup of peeled and cubed tomatoes
1 and a half cup of water
1 green pepper, chopped
1 bay leaf
1 clove of garlic, chopped
1 tablespoon of parsley
2 teaspoons of salt
1 teaspoon of pepper sauce (tabasco)
1/2 teaspoon of thyme
3 cups of cooked grits

Brown the meat in oil in a deep skillet. Remove the meat and add the flour and brown, stirring constantly. Add onion and tomatoes. Let simmer for a few minutes. Add the meat, water, pepper, garlic, bay leaf, parsley, salt, pepper sauce and thyme. Cover and allow to simmer for about 90 minutes or until the meat is very tender, adding water if necessary to make the sauce the consistency of thick gravy. Serve the grillades (the grilled beef and sauce)  with a portion of hot grits on the side.

This recipe makes about 6 servings.

Note: If you do not like grits, you may substitute them with hot cooked rice.
