In a large pot, cover the beet with cold water. Bring to a boil, then allow the beet to simmer until tender, about 30 to 40 minutes. Once the beet is cooked, shock in an ice bath.  

Peel the beet with you hands – the skin will peel right off.

Soften goat cheese and season with black pepper to taste.
