Directions

Filling

1. In a 10.25″ Skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add flank steak and sear on both sides. Remove from pan, and let sit 15 minutes before cutting into thin strips. Set aside.
2. After the steak is removed, add bell peppers and onion to the same skillet. Saute 5 minutes. 
3. Add mushrooms and tomatoes, simmer another 5 minutes. 
4. Return steak to pan, and add whiskey, chilies in adobo, hot sauce, salt, and pepper. Mix together, continuing to simmer. 
5. In another bowl, add flour and water: mix together and then add to skillet. 
6. Mix everything together. Turn off heat and top with cheese. 

Cornbread

1. Mix cornmeal, flour, corn, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt together in a mixing bowl. 
2. Make a well (indent) in the center of the dry ingredients and add milk, oil, egg, sour cream, and 2 oz cheese. 
3. Mix together until just combined and there are not longer any dry pockets. This prevents over-mixing. 

Assembly

1. Preheat oven to 350*F.
2. Pour cornbread mixture over the filling ingredients in the skillet. Top with remaining 1 oz of cheese. 
3. Bake for 35 minutes or until the cornbread is golden and fully cooked. 
4. Immediately once removed from the oven, spread honey over the top of the cornbread. 
5. Let cool 5 minutes then spoon out and enjoy!
