directions

  • Preheat oven to 425°F Meanwhile, whisk together cornmeal, 1/2 cup flour, baking soda, and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a medium-sized bowl. In a second bowl, whisk together the remaining two tablespoons of flour and 2/3 cup of water. Set both bowls aside.
  • Pour oil into a large ovenproof skillet set over medium-high heat. When oil is shimmering, add peppers, onion, and mushrooms. Season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until vegetables are tender, six to eight minutes.
  • Turn heat to high and add beef and the tomato paste. Stir constantly, breaking up the meat with a wooden spoon, until the meat is no longer pink, about 3 minutes. Slowly pour in the flour and water mixture. Season with more salt and pepper, and let cook until thick, stirring occasionally, about two more minutes. Turn off the heat.
  • Add sour cream and the whisked egg to the bowl of cornmeal and flour. Stir until just combined. Scoop up one tablespoon of the batter and place on the beef. Repeat process, placing the batter about 1-inch apart from each other. Transfer skillet to the oven and cook until biscuits are golden brown, 15 to 20 minutes.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

I'm a 48 y/o gay Jewish man in the suburbs immediately north of New York City. I'm a general internist, practicing and teaching at a medical college north of NYC. I also earned a Masters in Public Health degree in 2013. After a Walt Disney World trip in Dec 2006 where I had to rent an electric scooter because I couldn't manage the walking, I decided to have gastric bypass surgery, which was done Feb 28, 2007. I lost 160 lbs (though I've gained back about 60 of that since). I can't eat as much as I used to, so I want every bite to be extra good!
