What's your ingredients?
I used the following last time but am willing to try something different. Possibly spicier

4lbs round steak
1tbsp salt
1 tsp cayenne pepper
1/2 tsp black pepper
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/2 cup of flour
1/2 cup veg oil
3 medium yellow onions
2 med green peppers
3 celery stalks
3 cups whole canned tomatoes with their juice
2 cups beef broth
1/2 cup dry red wine
2 bay leaves
1/2 tsp dried tarragon leaves
1/2 tsp dried basi leaves
1/2 cup finely chopped green onions
3 tbsp chopped parsley
Baked grits

Sorry ab the spelling...

Sorry, but it's hard not to .
I do a very similar version of grits as grillades as Besh does in his "My New Orleans" cookbook.

Also, the correct order is Grillades and Grits.

Flows better and the grillades deserve to be first.

Creole Gumbo is one of the worst food offenses I have ever encountered. I hate when mu non-LA. friends say they had it and how good it was.

Makes me want to puke.

This is close. I usually add a little more garlic, kick it up a bit, and will substitute ingredients if not on hand.

1/2 bell pepper, diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 cups canned whole plum tomatoes, drained, seeded, and diced

The Plantation Cookbook's recipe is in the TD Recipe Book at the top of the first page. There is none better.

Add red and more black pepper, and an extra bay leaf or two. Need some fresh flat leaf parsley at the end, also.

Usually use 3 or 4 for that size recipe.
I actually have generally used pork shoulders for tailgate grillades. Try and catch them on sale and it makes for a fairly inexpensive breakfast to feed the masses at tailgates.

This may be blasphemy, but Poche's sells really good grillades in a pack, with a nice sauce. I just add some bell peppers, onions, celery, garlic, Rotel, wine and stock and they are good to go.
