Grillades /ɡree-yahds/[1] are medallions of various meats, conventionally beef,[1] but veal and pork are also used in modern recipes.
[1][2] For grillades with gravy, the meat is cut into medallions, pounded flat, seasoned and dredged in flour.
The meat is then browned and braised in a flavorful liquid made up of roux and chopped or crushed tomatoes.
[1][3] The "trinity" (chopped bell pepper, onion and celery), garlic, beef broth and wine are called for in many recipes.
Thyme, bay leaves and cayenne or hot sauce are common seasonings.
