Ingredients
- Ground Beef
- Thick-cut Beef Bacon
- Fresh Goat Cheese
- Chives
- Parsley
- Salt
- Pepper
- Chopped Pecans or Walnuts
- Plastic Wrap
Instructions
- Cook the beef bacon in a skillet over medium heat until it’s crispy. Remove from the pan and let it cool on paper towels.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef with finely chopped herbs, salt, pepper, and any other spices you desire. Mix well until all ingredients are incorporated.
- On a sheet of plastic wrap, place the beef mixture and shape it into a log, about 12 inches long and 2-3 inches in diameter. Wrap the log tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
- In a separate bowl, mix the softened goat cheese with finely chopped cooked bacon. Stir in some chopped herbs for extra flavor if desired.
- Once the beef log has chilled, unwrap it and spread the goat cheese mixture evenly over the surface. Roll the log carefully, ensuring the cheese mixture is sealed within.
- Roll the log in crushed nuts or seeds, pressing gently to adhere for added texture.
- Wrap the log back in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least another hour to allow the flavors to meld.
- When ready to serve, unwrap the log, slice it into thick rounds, and arrange them on a platter.
