Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 19

1 ½ lb boneless beef check roast, cut into 1 (2.54 cm) in cubes
3 teaspoons kosher salt, divided
2 teaspoons neutral oil, such as canola
1 red bell pepper, seeded and diced
½ yellow onion, diced
2 stalks celery, siced
3 cloves garlic, roughly chopped
1 cup diced tomato, drained
2 tablespoons tomato paste
2 tablespoons Frank's RedHot® Original Cayenne Pepper Hot Sauce, plus more for drizzling
1 tablespoon McCormick Cajun Seasoning
nonstick cooking spray, for greasing
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 cup grits
2 cups whole milk, plus more as needed
2 cups water
1 ½ teaspoons kosher salt
1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
scallion, thinly sliced, for garnish

Steps:

  • Make the beef: Season the beef with 2 teaspoons of salt.
  • Heat the oil in an Instant Pot on "Sauté" mode. Add the beef and sear on all sides, using tongs to turn the meat, 7-9 minutes total. Remove the beef from the Instant Pot and set aside.
  • Add the bell pepper, onion, celery, and garlic to the Instant Pot and sauté for 5 minutes, until softened. Stir in the tomatoes, tomato paste, Frank's RedHot® Original Cayenne Pepper Hot Sauce, McCormick Cajun Seasoning, and the remaining teaspoon of salt.
  • Return the beef to the Instant Pot and stir well. Put the lid on the Instant Pot, set the pressure valve to "Sealing," and pressure-cook for 50 minutes.
  • Turn the pressure valve to "Venting" to release the pressure quickly. (Be sure to read all Instant Pot instructions carefully for safety.) Carefully remove the lid.
  • Remove the beef mixture from the Instant Pot and set aside. Clean the Instant Pot insert.
  • Make the grits: Generously coat the Instant Pot insert with nonstick spray. Add the butter and melt on "Sauté" mode. Add the grits and cook, stirring frequently, for 2 minutes, until fragrant. Whisk in the milk, water, and salt. Bring mixture to a simmer, then whisk well.
  • Put the lid on the Instant Pot, set the pressure valve to "Sealing," and pressure-cook for 10 minutes.
  • Let pressure naturally release for 15 minutes, then turn the pressure valve to "Venting" to release the rest of the pressure. Carefully remove the lid.
  • Carefully hold the Instant Pot with an oven mitt and use a silicone spatula or wooden spoon to move the grits around and release from the bottom of the pot, then whisk well to incorporate.
  • Stir in the cheddar cheese. Let cheese melt for 1 minute, then stir again. (If the grits get too thick before serving, stir in a bit of milk to loosen.)
  • To serve, spoon the grits into shallow bowls. Scoop the beef mixture on top. Drizzle with Frank's RedHot® and garnish with the scallions.
  • Enjoy!
