Pecan Stuffed Steak

By boscobojo

Ingredients

• 2 lbs. ground beef
• 8 slices of bacon
• 8 Tbl. chopped pecans
• 4 Tbl. chopped parsley
• 4 Tbl. grated onion
• 6 Tbl. softened butter
• 8 oz. cream cheese, softened
• 2 tsp. salt
• 1 tsp. pepper
• 1/2 Tbl. garlic powder

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat broiler or grill. Season the ground beef with salt, pepper and garlic powder. Using your hands mix it together. Form 16 thin patties.

In a skillet partially saute bacon; fat should start rendering but don't let it get crispy. Mix pecans, parsley, onion, butter and cream cheese together. Spread that mixture over 8 patties. Top with the remaining patties and pinch the edges together just a little. Wrap the edges with the bacon and secure it with a toothpick. Broil or grill until desired doneness, turning only once, about 5-6 minutes per side. When done, remove the toothpick and serve on a bun as a burger or as a hamburger steak.
