NEW ORLEANS GRILLADES AND GRITS

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.

• 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.)
