How to Make Grillades

  1. Season beef cubes generously with salt and pepper.
  2. Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a large, oven-safe nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until very hot.
  3. Add beef cubes in a single layer and sear for 2-3 minutes per side, until browned. Remove and set aside.
  4. Add the remaining 2 tablespoons of oil to the skillet.
  5. Reduce heat to medium. Add the chopped onions and cook, stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes until softened.
  6. Add the green bell pepper, celery, and minced garlic. Cook, stirring frequently, for 3 minutes more.
  7. Stir in the crushed tomatoes, tomato puree, beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, and bay leaves. Break up any large tomato chunks with a spatula.
  8. Increase heat to high and bring the mixture to a boil.
  9. Return the seared beef cubes to the skillet. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 40 minutes, or until the beef is very tender.
  10. Transfer the cooked beef to a platter and keep warm.
  11. Increase heat to medium-high. Stir in the white wine vinegar and bring to a boil.
  12. Boil until the sauce has thickened slightly, about 5 minutes. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
  13. Discard the bay leaves.
  14. To serve, spoon the delicious sauce generously over the tender beef. Serve with rice, mashed potatoes, or your favorite side dish.
