•

6 2-inch beets, trimmed, as evenly sized as possible
•

2 ounces soft fresh goat cheese, or more to taste
•

sea salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
•

0.33333334326744 cup rice vinegar

•

0.25 cup chopped fresh mint
•

0.25 cup olive oil
•

1 teaspoon white sugar

Instructions

Fill a pot with 3 inches of water, insert a steamer basket, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium or medium-low and place beets inside the steamer basket. Cover pot. Cook until beets are easily pierced with a knife, checking water level periodically, 35 to 50 minutes. Remove from heat and cool, about 30 minutes.
Peel the beets; if you are using red and golden beets, peel the golden ones first so you don't end up turning them pink. Remove any remaining root stems. Thinly slice beets and arrange on a serving platter. I use a round plate and start in the center, alternating red and golden beet slices. Dot the top with goat cheese – you want to be able to see the beets but have enough cheese because it pairs so well with the beet. Sprinkle with sea salt and black pepper.
Combine rice vinegar, olive oil, mint, and sugar in a small bowl. Drizzle over beets.
