The Plantation Cookbook's recipe for it is in the TD.com recipe book. It's the best I ever had.

Great recipe and if you don't have the book, it's well worth finding and buying. You can usually find it used on Amazon.

I use the Vernon Roger recipe, to a degree. You have it?

This is John Folse's Recipe. It's solid. You can substitute boston butt pork if you prefer. If you use the pork, trim as much of the fat as possible before browning. You can also substitute venison.
INGREDIENTS:
2 medium-size round steaks
1 cup flour
1/4 cup shortening or bacon drippings
1 cup onions, finely diced
1 cup celery, finely diced
1/2 cup bell pepper, finely diced
1 cup tomatoes, diced
1 cup green onions, finely diced
1/4 cup garlic, diced
3 cups beef stock
1 cup mushrooms, sliced
1/4 cup parsley
salt and cracked black pepper to taste
METHOD:
Cut round steak into 3-inch square cubes. Season to taste using salt and cracked black pepper. Dust pieces generously in flour and set aside. In a heavy-bottom dutch oven, heat oil or shortening over medium-high heat. Sauté round steaks until brown on all sides. Add onions, celery, bell pepper, tomatoes, green onions and garlic. Sauté until vegetables are wilted, approximately 3 to 5 minutes. Add beef stock, bring to a low boil and reduce heat to simmer. Cover Dutch oven and allow grillades to cook slowly for approximately 45 minutes. Stir occasionally to keep seasonings from scorching. Once tender, add mushrooms and parsley. Adjust seasonings if necessary and cook 10 additional minutes. Serve over grits as a breakfast item or over rice as an entrée.

Look up Emeril's recipe that adds red wine and mushrooms and serve with garlic cheese grits. We have done this for many a tailgate and nothing is left.

I've only had it with beef. I much prefer pork to beef. Can you tell a difference? Is it any better or worse?

I've done it with pork tenderloin. It comes out nice. The flavor is pretty much the same.

Try this seasoning method sometime. It's from Vernon Roger's book, which has some good ideas. Works well with pork, beef, or venison.
3lbs pork butt, cut into 3 x 1 inch strips(the size I prefer, Roger said 1x1 ).
2T mustard
5T vinegar
1 t garlic powder, or fresh garlic(1 T)
Salt, red and black pepper to taste
Mix all well and marinate in the fridge for at least two days...up to a week. Then prepare the grillades per the method you wish. Really works well.
