Yield 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 1/2 cups water
1/2 cup grits, gluten free
salt
1/2 cup grated cheese (A combination of cheddar and Monterrey jack is very good.)
1/8-1/4 cup chopped green chili pepper
2 eggs
3 ounces grilled steak or 3 ounces grilled pork, thinly sliced
1/2 medium avocado, diced
1/4 cup chopped onion
1 serrano chili pepper, minced
1 roma tomato, diced
lemon juice
salt
pepper
fresh cilantro, to garnish

Steps:

  • Bring the 1 1/2 cups water to a boil, whisk in grits and season to taste with salt. When grits return to boil, cover and reduce heat to medium low. Cook for 5 minutes.
  • While grits cook prepare the avocado salsa by combining the avocado, onion, pepper and tomato. Sprinkle liberally with lemon juice and season to taste with salt and pepper.
  • When the grits are cooked, remove from heat and stir in cheese and green chili. Cover and allow to rest while cooking the eggs.
  • Cook eggs in a lightly seasoned skillet to your liking; i.e., sunny side up, over easy, etc. When finished cooking eggs toss the sliced meat onto the hot pan and toss to just warm.
  • To assemble, divide the grits between 2 shallow bowls. Top each with a cooked egg, half the meat and a generous helping of avocado salsa. Sprinkle all with fresh cilantro or parsley if desired and serve.

Time 3h

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 24

3 lbs boneless beef chuck steaks, 2 inches thick, patted dry
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
3 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 medium onion, thickly sliced
1 stalk celery, thickly sliced
2 medium green bell peppers, cored, seeded, and sliced
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 1/2 cups beef stock
1 (8 ounce) can tomato sauce
1 teaspoon brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon dried basil, crumbled
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme, crumbled
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano, crumbled
1 whole bay leaf
1/8 teaspoon ground red pepper (cayenne)
3 cups water
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup grits
1 tablespoon unsalted butter or 1 tablespoon margarine
1 cup shredded gruyere or 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1 large egg, lightly beaten
1/4 teaspoon paprika

Steps:

  • Dredge the steak in the flour, shaking off any excess, and sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon of the salt and 1/8 tsp black pepper. Heat the oil for 1 minute in a 3 quart flameproof casserole or a dutch oven over moderately high heat. Add the steak and brown for 6 to 7 minutes on each side. Remove the steak and set aside.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Add the onion, celery, green peppers, and 1/2 tsp salt and 1/8 tsp pepper to the casserole, and cook over moderate heat, stirring occasionally for 5 minutes. Stir in the garlic, beef stock, tomato sauce, sugar, basil, thyme, oregano, bay leaf, and red pepper. Bring to a boil. Return the steak to the pan and spoon some of the vegetable mixture over it. Cover, transfer to the oven, and bake until tender 1 1/2 to 2 hours.
  • After the meat has been in the oven for about 1 hour, bring the water to a boil in a medium size saucepan over moderately high heat. Add 1/4 tsp salt and grits, reduce the heat to low, and simmer, stirring constantly until thickened, about 15 minutes. Remove from the heat, beat in the butter, cheese, and egg, and let cool for 15 minutes.
  • Raise the oven temperature to 400 degrees. Remove the casserole/dutch oven from the oven, skim any fat from the drippings, and remove the bay leaf. Spoon some of the sauce from the bottom of the casserole or dutch oven over the steak, arrange the grits in mounds on top, then sprinkle them with the paprika.
  • Return the casserole/dutch oven to the oven and bake, uncovered, for 25 to 30 minutes or until bubbling.

Tips:

  • Choose the right skirt steak: Look for a skirt steak that is about 1 inch thick and has good marbling. This will ensure that the steak is tender and flavorful.
  • Marinate the steak: Marinating the steak in a flavorful marinade will help to tenderize it and add flavor. You can use a variety of marinades, such as a simple olive oil and garlic marinade, or a more complex marinade made with spices and herbs.
  • Cook the steak over high heat: Skirt steak is a thin cut of meat, so it cooks quickly. Be sure to cook it over high heat so that it gets a nice sear on the outside and stays tender on the inside.
  • Let the steak rest before slicing: Once the steak is cooked, let it rest for a few minutes before slicing. This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the steak, resulting in a more tender and flavorful steak.
  • Serve the steak with your favorite sides: Skirt steak can be served with a variety of sides, such as roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a simple salad. You can also top the steak with your favorite sauce, such as a chimichurri sauce or a salsa verde.

Conclusion:

Southwestern skirt steak with cheese grits is a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for a weeknight dinner. The steak is tender and flavorful, and the cheese grits are creamy and cheesy. This dish is sure to please everyone at the table.
