Steps:
- For Grillades: Combine flour and Creole seasoning in a medium bowl. Set aside. Rinse and pat dry veal cutlets, then season with salt and pepper. Dredge cutlets in the seasoned flour and shake off excess. Do not discard flour. Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over high heat until it is 360 degrees. You can test the temperature by dropping a piece of rice into the oil. If it pops right back up, it's ready. Fry the cutlets, several at a time, until golden brown on both sides. Be careful not to overcrowd the skillet. Remove cutlets from skillet and continue to cook in batches until all the veal has been browned. When all of the veal has been cooked, reduce the heat to medium-high. Add onions and cook, stirring throughout, until they are a deep, rich color, about 20 minutes. Add the celery, bell pepper and garlic, reduce the heat to moderate, and continue cooking and stirring for 5 minutes or until vegetables are cooked down. Sprinkle 1 tablespoon of the seasoned flour into the skillet and stir to thicken the vegetable mixture. Increase heat to high, stir in the tomatoes and beef stock, and cook until it comes to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium and stir the thyme, pepper flakes and Worcestershire sauce into the vegetables. Add bay leaf. Add the veal cutlets, cover, and simmer until the veal is fork tender, about 45 minutes. Season with salt, pepper and hot sauce. Serve over grits. For Grits: In a large saucepan, bring 4 cups salted water to a boil. Reduce heat to medium. Slowly whisk in grits, stirring constantly, 3-5 minutes. Reduce heat to low and cook 40-50 minutes, stirring occasionally so they don't scorch on the bottom of the pan. When grits are cooked, stir in 2 tablespoons butter and mascarpone and remove from stove. Cover pot and wrap in a towel to keep grits warm.

- Cook the grits slowly and low. This will help them develop a creamy, smooth texture.
- Season the grits well. Salt, pepper, and butter are all essential seasonings for grits.
- Add your favorite toppings. Cheese, bacon, sausage, shrimp, and crawfish are all popular toppings for grits.
