Steps:
- Combine the 1/2 cup flour, salt and one teaspoon of Creole Seasoning in a shallow bowl. Dredge the pieces of beef in the flour, shaking off the excess and transfer to a large plate.
- Heat the oil in a stainless steel skillet over medium-high heat until hot but not smoking. Place the beef in the skillet, being careful not to overcrowd, and fry on both sides until browned. Transfer the beef to a plate.
- Saute the onions in the skillet until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and saute for another minute. Add the bell pepper and celery and saute until soft, about 5-7 minutes. Add the tomatoes and saute for another 4-5 minutes, scraping up any browned bits in the skillet. Transfer the vegetables to a bowl.
- Melt the 5 tablespoons of butter or olive in the same skillet over medium heat. Add the 1/3 cup flour and whisk constantly until the mixture is a rich brown, about 4 minutes. Add the beef broth and red wine vinegar, whisking continually until the mixture is smooth and thickened.
- Return the vegetables to the skillet and add the Creole Seasoning and bay leaves. Return the beef to the skillet and bring to a simmer. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 1 1/2 hours or until the meat is very tender, stirring occasionally.Stir in the parsley and simmer for another 5 minutes. Add salt and pepper to taste. Remove the bay leaves.
- Serve the grillades and gravy ladled over hot grits (see below).
- For the Grits: In a 5-quart pot over medium-high heat, bring the milk and salt to a simmer, stirring regularly to prevent the milk from burning.
- Slowly add the grits in a steady stream, whisking constantly to prevent lumps. Add the salt. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and cook for about 30 minutes, stirring occasionally until the grits are thick and tender.

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!
