Grillades:
Cut round steak into small pieces of your choice (medallions or strips). Mix salt, pepper, and 3 tablespoons flour together. Dredge meat pieces in flour. In a heavy skillet, heat oil and brown meat. Set meat aside. In the same skillet, sauté onions, garlic, and bell pepper, if used. Set aside with meat. Add 3 tablespoons flour to drippings in pan (may have to add a little oil) and brown until a medium roux. Add water, stewed tomatoes or tomato paste, parsley, and thyme. Lower heat and add meat and vegetables, cover and simmer for 45 minutes or until meat is tender (may take longer). Serve with Garlic Cheese Grits.
