Ingredients
- 1 medium to large or 2 small beets per person
- Olive oil
- Sea salt and freshly ground pepper
Instructions
-
Steam the beets by placing whole, uncut beets in the top of a steamer and steaming over 2 inches of water until tender. About 30 minutes for small beets and up to one hour for large. For this recipe, steam until just tender.
-
When cool, peel off the skins with your hands and remove stem end. Slice, half or quarter as you wish.
-
Heat 1-2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add beets and saute, without stirring for 5 minutes. Stir to turn onto the other side and continue to saute for an additional 5 minutes. Continue in this manner until the beets are browned slightly on all sides.
-
Season with salt and pepper and serve.
This has become our go-to beet recipe – it’s rich but not heavy and highlights the sweetness of beets.
