Seared Beets Recipes

Steps:

• Combine all of the ingredients for the salsa in a medium bowl. Stir together, taste and adjust salt. Set aside for 30 minutes or longer.
• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Season the fish with salt and pepper. Heat a heavy ovenproof skillet over high heat and add the oil. Tilt the pan to film the bottom. Add the fish fillets and cook for 1 minute, or until you can easily slide a spatula underneath and turn the fish over (you may have to do this in two batches so that you don't crowd the fish).
• Turn the fish over and place in the oven for 5 to 10 minutes, depending on the thickness of the fillet (5 minutes per 1/2 inch thickness), until the fish is opaque and can be pulled apart with the tines of a fork. Remove from the heat and transfer to plates or a platter. Squeeze lime juice over each piece of fish and serve, garnishing each serving with a generous spoonful of salsa.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C/gas 8).
• Wash and scrub the beets, trim the ends, and toss into a large piece of foil with a little oil, balsamic vinegar, and seasoning. Wrap and roast until tender. Cooking time depends on size.
• Mix the rosemary salt and pepper on a board. Roll and press the fillet of beef over this, making sure all sticks to the meat. In a very hot, ridged pan, or on a barbecue, sear the meat until brown and slightly crisp on all sides, around 5 minutes. Remove from the pan. Allow it to rest for 5 minutes, then slice it all up as thinly as you can. Lay the slices on a large plate.
• After preparing the beef, sprinkle the roasted beetroots randomly (whole, halved or quartered, depending on size) over the sliced meat. Now mix the horseradish and creme fraiche together. It has to be seasoned well, usually needing a little white wine vinegar or lemon juice. Dribble this over the beetroots. Dress some watercress with olive oil and lemon juice. Then scatter this, along with some small slivers of shaved Parmesan, all over the plate and get ready to tuck in!

Steps:

• Heat a medium saute pan coated with oil over medium heat until the oil shimmers. Add the beet greens and garlic, and toss until the greens are wilted and tender, 5 to 8 minutes. Add the red pepper flakes and lemon zest and juice, and toss. Season with salt and pepper.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425°F. Toss broccoli with 2 tablespoons oil, season with salt and pepper and arrange on a rimmed baking sheet. Roast 15 minutes.
• Season salmon with salt and pepper; drizzle skin sides with oil. Nestle onto baking sheet with broccoli, skin-sides down. Return to oven and roast until broccoli is golden in spots and crisp-tender and salmon is just cooked through, 8 to 10 minutes more.
• Meanwhile, heat a large, heavy-bottomed skillet, preferably cast iron, over medium. Season beets with salt and pepper. Swirl remaining 2 tablespoons oil into skillet. Working in batches, add beets in a single layer and cook, flipping once, until browned on both sides and tender with a little crispness (an inserted knife should be met with a bit of resistance), about 5 minutes a side. Transfer to a plate.
• In a bowl, whisk together tahini, lime juice, garlic, and turmeric until smooth, adding water, 1 teaspoon at a time, until it reaches a pourable consistency. Season with salt and pepper. Serve beet steaks with broccoli and salmon, drizzled with turmeric-tahini sauce and sprinkled with scallions.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450°F.
• Trim beets, leaving about 1 inch of stems attached, and reserve greens with stems. Wrap beets tightly in foil and in a baking pan roast in middle of oven until tender, about 1 hour. Unwrap beets carefully. When beets are cool enough to handle, slip off skins and stems.
• In a blender or food processor puree beets with water, soy sauce, vinegar, and salt and pepper to taste until smooth. Transfer sauce to a small saucepan and keep warm, covered.
• Cut greens into 1/2-inch-wide slices and chop stems. In a 12-inch nonstick skillet heat 1 1/2 tablespoons butter over moderate heat until foam subsides and cook gingerroot, stirring, 30 seconds. Add greens and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender, about 10 minutes. Season greens with salt and pepper and keep warm, covered.
• Pat sea bass fillets dry. Sprinkle fillets with coriander and season with salt and pepper. In a large nonstick skillet heat remaining 1 1/2 tablespoons butter over moderately high heat until foam subsides and sauté fillets, skin sides down, pressing gently with a spatula if fillets curl, until skin is golden, about 3 minutes. Turn fish over and sauté about 2 minutes more, or until just cooked through.
• Serve sea bass with beet greens and sauce.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees (175 degrees C). Wash the beets thoroughly, leaving the skins on, and remove the greens. Rinse greens, removing any large stems, and set aside. Place the beets in a small baking dish or roasting pan, and toss with 2 tablespoons of olive oil. If you wish to peel the beets, it is easier to do so once they have been roasted.
• Cover, and bake for 45 to 60 minutes, or until a knife can slide easily through the largest beet.
• When the roasted beets are almost done, heat the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil in a skillet over medium-low heat. Add the garlic and onion, and cook for a minute. Tear the beet greens into 2 to 3 inch pieces, and add them to the skillet. Cook and stir until greens are wilted and tender. Season with salt and pepper. Serve the greens as is, and the roasted beets sliced with either red-wine vinegar, or butter and salt and pepper.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450 degrees. On a rimmed baking sheet, toss beets and broccoli with 4 teaspoons oil and season with salt and pepper. Roast until vegetables are tender when pierced with a knife, 20 to 25 minutes.
• Meanwhile, pat fish dry with paper towels and season with salt and pepper. In a large nonstick skillet, heat 2 teaspoons oil over medium-high. Add fish and cook until lightly browned on one side, 3 to 4 minutes. Flip and cook until lightly browned and opaque throughout, 3 minutes more. Serve fish with vegetables and lime wedges.

Steps:

• Mix together the dry ingredients.
• Add vinegar and water and stir until smooth.
• Cook 5 minutes.
• Add beets and let stand desired minutes. (Can marinate in fridge overnight or just while you prepare other dishes).
• Before serving, heat to boiling point and add butter.
• Serve warm.
