Description

Buttery, salty, crisp, naturally sweet beets make a great side for any dinner or as a salad topper. With ranch, it makes for a good country snack. With feta and champagne dressing, a classy side.

Ingredients

  • 1 whole Large Beet (the Big Ones The Size Of A Fist)
  • 4 Tablespoons Butter
  • 1 cup Flour
  • 1 teaspoon Salt And Pepper
  • 1 pinch Cayenne Pepper (Optional)

Preparation

Wash and dry beet. Cut off the ends and slice beet into quarter of an inch slices.

Melt butter in a cast large iron pan on medium to high heat. You want the pan to get hot to really crisp the beets up but not enough to burn the butter. My stove runs on HOT and HOTTER so I keep it on medium.

Combine flour, salt and pepper and cayenne in a bowl. Dreg the beets through the flour mixture. This will give them a little of a coating and help to keep that good beet juice on the inside.

Plunk beets in the hot pan of butter and let cook. It should take about 5-ish minutes for each side of the beet, depending on the size and the thickness. When the beet is pliable in the middle (i.e. will bend and fold rather than break), it’s done.

Place on a paper towel to soak up excess grease before serving. Or eat each one straight out of the pan and burn your fingertips like I do.

Good with ranch dressing, as a nice salad topper, or with feta cheese and little Italian dressing.

Enjoy!
