How to Make New Orleans Style's O's

  1. Cut 2 lbs beef chuck into 2-inch pieces.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup all-purpose flour and 1 tbsp Emeril's Bayou Blast Creole Seasoning (recipe below).
  3. Dredge beef pieces in the flour mixture, ensuring even coating. Lay flat on a work surface.
  4. Lightly pound each piece of beef to 1/4-inch thickness using a meat mallet.
  5. Turn beef over and repeat pounding, adding more flour mixture if needed.
  6. Heat 2 tbsp vegetable oil in a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat.
  7. Add beef in batches, browning evenly on both sides (5-6 minutes per batch). Remove browned beef and set aside.
  8. Once all beef is browned, return it to the Dutch oven. Add 1 large onion, chopped, and 1 green bell pepper, chopped.
  9. Stir well, scraping the bottom and sides of the pot to loosen browned bits.
  10. Cook for 5-6 minutes, until vegetables soften.
  11. Add 4 cloves garlic, minced; 2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce; 2 bay leaves; 1 tsp salt; 1/2 tsp black pepper; and 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper.
  12. Cook, stirring, for 2 minutes.
  13. Pour in 2 cups beef stock and bring to a boil.
  14. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer for 2-2.5 hours, or until beef is fall-apart tender.
  15. Using a potato masher or fork, shred the beef.
  16. Stir in 1 cup heavy cream and cook for 1-2 minutes, until heated through. If sauce is too thin, cook uncovered until thickened.
  17. Serve hot over garlic-butter Texas toast (recipe below). Garnish with fresh parsley.
  18. **Bayou Blast Creole Seasoning:** In a small bowl, combine 2 tbsp paprika, 1 tbsp garlic powder, 1 tbsp onion powder, 1 tbsp dried oregano, 1 tbsp dried thyme, 1 tbsp salt, 1 tbsp black pepper, 1 tsp cayenne pepper. Mix thoroughly.
  19. **Garlic-Butter Texas Toast:** Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with foil.
  20. Arrange Texas toast slices in a single layer on the foil.
  21. In a bowl, combine 1/2 cup (1 stick) softened butter, 2 cloves minced garlic, and 1/4 tsp salt. Mix well.
  22. Spread butter mixture evenly over the toast.
  23. Bake for 5-6 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.
  24. Serve warm with the New Orleans Style S O S.
