Instructions

Cut steaks into 2-inch pieces. Combine 4 tablespoons flour, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper; dredge steak.
Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a heavy skillet over medium-high heat. Brown dredged steak on all sides, then remove to a plate.
In the same pan, cook onion, celery, and bell pepper until the onion is translucent, then add garlic and cook for 2 minutes.
Remove cooked vegetables. Add remaining 2 tablespoons oil and 2 tablespoons flour to the pan, stirring constantly until the roux is medium brown. Return cooked vegetables to the pan, add beef broth, and stir until smooth.
Return meat to the pan with tomatoes, thyme, basil, red pepper, and a dash of hot sauce. Simmer for 40-60 minutes until meat is tender. Season with salt and pepper, then stir in fresh parsley.
Serve grillades over hot buttered grits, garnished with sliced green onions if desired.
