Steak Grillades over Cheese Noodles

Submitted by A Messy Cook

"This is an upscale version of the Louisiana classic, steak grillades. Beef, bacon, onion, and bell peppers are tossed with peppy Cajun spice, then served over cheesy noodles and garnished with tomato and parsley…comfort food kicked up a notch! The recipe is from a Cuisine at Home magazine. I have not tried it yet, but when I do, I’ll be using turkey bacon (we don’t eat pork)."

We loved this recipe! IOur steak was very tender and delicious. made this on a oamc day. I made the meat and sauce portion and froze in a freezer container. I then thawed in the microwave and heated just until warm throughout. I served over the freshly cooked noodles and it was wonderful! Thanks for sharing such a great dish.

We really liked the flavor of this dish. The combination of the veggies, sauce and bacon over the cheesey noodles was great, but the steak was tough as a boot. I think I will try another cut of beef next time.
