When the bacon softens, add the onion, bell pepper, and brown sugar. When the onions and peppers are browned remove all to a plate. Add the olive oil and 2 T. of butter to the skillet. When hot, dust the meat in the seasoned flour and place in the skillet. when the meat is thoroughly browned, remove it to a plate.
Deglaze the skillet by pouring in the bourbon and scraping up the browned bits in the bottom with a spatula or wooden spoon. When the bourbon has nearly evaporated, add the beef broth. Bring to a boil and stir in the roux. Continue boiling until the liquid becomes a light gravy. Return the meat, onions, bell pepper, and bacon to the liquid and stir to reheat.
