How to make it
- Lay the beetroots on a double layer of foil – about 30cm/12inches(60cm unfolded) – and sprinkle the rosemary leaves on top.
- Roll up the foil, folding in the edges and twisting the ends together.
- Stab the foil a few times all over with a knife to allow the smoke to get inside and flavour the beets.
- carefully insert your foil package among the coals, making sure you place some coals on top
- Leave it to cook for 30 to 40 minutes, or until the beets are tender
- remove the package and allow it to cool down.
- Unwrap it and remove the beets, discarding the rosemary sprigs.
- Once cooled slightly, peel the beets and discard the charred skin.
- Cut the beets into irregular chunks and place in a bowl.
- Add the vinegar,
- 3 tablespoons of olive oil,
- plenty of salt and pepper and half the parsley and tarragon.
- Toss, have a taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary.
- Put the cottage cheese into a bowl and add the juice and finely grated zest from half your lemon.
- Stir in 2 glugs of olive oil,
- add thyme leaves and some salt and pepper and gently fold it all together, so the oil and lemon marble through the cottage cheese.
- Taste the dressing and squeeze in a bit more lemon juice if you like.
- Lightly rub a little dressing on to your 4 steaks.
- Place them on the barbecue and cook to your liking
- To serve,
- divide the dressed beets between two plates.
