-//This is something we all grew up with,  except that it was then made then with veal rather than beef.  CC talked about her grandfather Street’s family having this on the table every day,  except Friday.  That was fast day,  so they had [[Seafood#Redfish Courtbouillon]].  This was in addition to whatever they were having for dinner that day.    They were creatures of habit.  The word grillades refers to the cut of meat,  not the cooking method.//

-The usual meat for this is beef round, thinly cut and trimmed of fat and odd bits.   We use a lean beef rump or shoulder roast and slice it across the grain into serving sized pieces about 1/2 inch thick. Cut the slices into serving sized pieces, pound them down to about 1/4" thickness and lightly flour.  Sear the meat in vegetable oil and put it aside.

-Cook chopped onion,  sweet pepper,  garlic,  thyme,  bayleaf,  parsley,  salt and pepper.   Make a brown roux with 2 tablespoons of flour,  add to the veggies.   Put in peeled,  seeded and chopped tomatoes or canned equivalent.  Add one tablespoon of tomato paste and about 2 cups of beef stock.  Return the meat to the pan,  cover with sauce and cook on a very low fire until the meat is very tender,  about 1 hour.  Never let the meat boil,  cook it at just a very slow simmer – no big bubbles.  It can be more easily cooked in a slow oven,  300° for about 1 ½  hour.  The sauce should be quite thick.  Serve over grits or rice.
