Beef Steaks with Roasted Beetroot, Potatoes and Horseradish Cream

Instructions

1. 1

   Prepare the beetroot

   Preheat the oven to 220 °C. Peel the beetroot and cut it into cubes about 2 cm across. Toss with 12 ml of the olive oil, the balsamic vinegar and 3 g of the salt.

   Roast the beetroot

   Spread the beetroot in a single layer on a baking tray and roast for 25 to 30 minutes at 220 °C. Turn it halfway through cooking. The cubes should be tender but still hold their shape, with lightly browned edges.

   Boil the potatoes and mix the cream

   Put the potatoes in a saucepan, cover with 1.8 l of water, add 5 g of the salt and bring to a boil. Cook for 18 to 22 minutes, until they can be pierced easily with a knife, then drain. Mix the sour cream with the horseradish, lemon juice and finely chopped dill.

   Sear the steaks

   Pat the steaks dry with a paper towel, season both sides with the remaining 2 g of salt and add the pepper. Heat a frying pan, add the remaining 8 ml of oil and sear the steaks for about 2 to 3 minutes on each side. After cooking, the meat should reach 60 to 63 °C at its thickest point. Transfer it to a board and let it rest for 5 minutes.
