Steak Grillades
With bold flavors and a little spice, these Cajun-inspired steak grillades can tame even the wildest appetite. A minimal amount of ingredients and a mixture of spices you probably have in your cupboard make this recipe quick and simple, yet bursting with flavor.
This fast, satisfying meal is adapted from a Louisiana favorite, steak grillades [gree-YAHDS]. Strips of round steak simmered in a rich brown sauce makes one of the best (and easiest) dinners you’ll eat.
Round steak is a great cut — it’s inexpensive and, since it includes the tender top round and flavorful sirloin cuts, it’s surprisingly good. Plus, the beefy flavor of round steak can hold its own against assertive Cajun spices. This recipe includes a homemade mix of spices common in Cajun cooking, but if you have a favorite store-bought blend, feel free to use that instead.

Instructions
Combine paprika, salt, garlic powder, black pepper, cayenne, onion powder, oregano, and thyme for the Cajun spice blend. Season steak strips with spice mixture, then dredge in flour.
Cook bacon in a nonstick skillet until crisp; transfer to a paper-towel-lined plate. Add onions and bell peppers to skillet with drippings and sauté over medium-high heat, 3 minutes.
Add steak and sauté, stirring occasionally, 5 minutes. Return bacon to skillet. Deglaze skillet with broth and bring mixture to a boil; simmer until thick, about 3 minutes.
Serve steak mixture over Cheese Noodles; garnish with tomatoes and parsley.
For the most flavor, season the steak with the Cajun spice blend before dredging in flour.
Add the beef to the onion and pepper mixture. The flour coating the beef will thicken the dish.
Add the bacon and broth, stirring to scrape up flavorful browned bits from the bottom of the skillet.
