DIRECTIONS
1. Line a baking sheet with foil.
2. Sauté bacon in a large saucepan or Dutch oven over medium-high heat until crisp, 8 minutes.
3. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate and set aside.
4. Sauté onion, bell peppers, chiles and garlic in bacon drippings until
beginning to brown, 8 minutes; transfer to a bowl and set aside.
5. Cut flank steak into thirds and sear until browned, about 5 minutes per
side.
6. Stir in beer, such as lager, broth, and seasonings; bring to a boil,
reduce heat to medium-low and simmer covered 45 minutes.
7. Remove steak from pan, shred with 2 forks, and set aside.
8. Whisk masa into broth, bring to a boil and simmer to thicken slightly, 10
minutes.
9. Stir in reserved beef, vegetables, & bacon with remaining ingredients.
10. Divide filling among six 2-cup ovenproof dishes or ramekins, transfer
dishes to prepared baking sheet and top with biscuit topping.
11. PEPPER JACK BISCUITS:.
12. Preheat oven to 400ºF.
13. Whisk flour, masa, baking powder, baking soda and salt together in a
bowl until combined.
14. Cut in butter until pea-sized using a pastry blender(or two knives),
then stir in cheese and scallions.
15. Blend milk and sour cream in a small;; bowl, then stir into flour
mixture just until combined.
16. Top each pot pie with 3 golf ball-sized scoops of biscuit topping.
17. Bake until biscuits are golden and a toothpick inserted in the center
comes out clean, 30-35 minutes.
18. Let stand 10 minutes before serving to set up.
Note: I used canned Romas and just squeezed them in my hand and chopped them. I also didn't save any bacon grease to saute veggies. I used some olive oil. I also used 2 pounds of flank steak. I browned the steak in a little oil in the bottom of my pressure cooker. I added the beer and the seasonings and cooked at high pressure with natural release for 15 min. I proceeded from there. I cut out 30 min.
