  3. Meanwhile, in a large saucepan, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Add the onions, carrots, cumin, coriander and chili powder. Saut? 3-5 minutes or until the onions are transparent. Add the tomatoes and cook for 1-2 minutes.

  4. Add the okra and simmer 8-10 minutes or until the okra is cooked through.

  5. For the grits, in a Dutch oven combine water, milk, Creole seasoning and salt. Bring to a boil.

  6. Slowly add grits to hot liquid stirring constantly. Reduce heat to low and cover, stirring occasionally, about 5 to 7 minutes.

  7. Remove from heat, stir in butter in cheese until melted.

  8. Slice grilled steak against the grain. Serve with vegetables and grits.
