Breakfast

Instructions

  1. 1

    Cut the pounded meat into 2-inch squares, season with salt and pepper, and dredge lightly in flour.

  2. 2

    Heat bacon drippings in a Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Brown the meat pieces on all sides, then remove and set aside.

  3. 3

    In the same pot, add the chopped onion, bell pepper, and celery. Sauté until softened.

  4. 4

    Return the meat to the pot, add the diced tomatoes and beef broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat, cover, and simmer slowly for 1.5 to 2 hours until the meat is fork-tender.

  5. 5

    About 30 minutes before the grillades are done, bring 4 cups of salted water to a boil. Slowly whisk in the stone-ground grits, lower heat, cover, and simmer for 25 minutes, stirring often.

  6. 6

    Finish the grits with heavy cream and butter. Serve the rich, tender meat and tomato gravy generously ladled over the hot, creamy grits.
