Tarragon Beef Roll
- 2 lbs 93% lean ground beef
- 3/4 (up to 1) C beef broth
- 1 heaping Tblsp Tarragon
- 1 tsp Salt
- 1 tsp Pepper
- 2 tsp Garlic Powder
- 1 8oz Brick of cream cheese
- 1/2 C Flour
- Wax Paper
- 8x10/9x11 backing dish with sides
- Place ground beef , tarragon, salt, pepper, and garlic powder in medium size bowl. Begin stirring in beef broth until it is loose, but still sticks together; so use less or more broth based on your results. Set this aside.
- Place a 20" or so piece of wax paper on the counter and sprinkle liberally with flour.
- Pour beef mixture onto floured paper and pat into an even rectangle about 1/2" thick. Cut Cream cheese into thick slices and place down the center of the beef rectangle. Using edge of wax paper, pull the long side of the beef rectangle over to form a roll, like a jelly roll, with cream cheese in the center. Seal any areas that the cheese is showing through as well as the ends. Ensure a fine coat of flour is covering your roll and place in pan, seem side down. Cover with foil, bake at 350 for 30 min, uncover and continue another 10-15 min. For nice gravy-like pan sauce, add another 1/4C broth mixed with another heavy Tblsp of flour into pan at the last baking time. Remove from oven, pour pan drippings over it (or use to make additional gravy), Sprinkle with a bit more tarragon. Let sit 5-10 minutes. Then Enjoy!!
