Paleo Beet Tartare

It's not really raw, but when you shape it right, it looks just like beef tartare. Prepare this Paleo beet recipe for all your vegetarian friends. by Marla Starr, updated November 6, 2016 Posted on December 29, 2014

These beets may not be raw, but you can impress all your guests by molding your veggies into a cylinder before serving.

I prepared this beet salad and served it cold at the Paleo Porn Family Dinner.

What is Tartare?

Tartare is a dish made from finely chopped or minced raw protein, typically beef or fish. Tartare is much less likely to be served at home unless you have quality, fresh ingredients to work with.

You may have seen tartare listed on a restaurant menu. Jeff & I enjoyed steak tartare when we went to Gather in Chicago.

I decided to call this dish Beet Tartare because I was playing around with my biscuit cutters and shaping the beet salad when I thought it looked like beef tartare.

Despite the fancy appearance, this recipe is actually super easy to make. The oven does all the work when it comes to roasting the beets, so all you have to do is cube them, season them, and shape them. The butter will help hold them together, in addition to making them delicious.

Paleo Beet Tartare

I found that using two varieties of beets really made this dish pretty.

You can always stick to one kind of beet if that’s all you can find.

Try using different spices to create color contrast (and improve the taste).

Benefits of Beets

Beets aren’t just delicious. They’re also really good for you. They’re an excellent source of B vitamins and manganese and they come loaded with antioxidants. Beets in particular have been shown to reduce the oxidation of cholesterol (which is great, because it’s the oxidized cholesterol that is more likely to latch onto the insides of our arteries and cause all sorts of problems). They have also been shown to reduce blood pressure and may be able to help fight cancer.

Paleo Beet Tartare

Yield: 2 Servings

Ingredients

  • 4 beets (I used 2 golden and 2 red, ~2lbs total)
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • pinch of cayenne pepper
  • 3 tablespoons grass-fed butter

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F.
  2. Wrap each beet individually in foil, place on a rimmed baking sheet and bake for 1 1/2-2 hours.
  3. Remove the tray from the oven and let rest 5 minutes so the beets are manageable with your hands.
  4. Unwrap and discard the foil. Cube each beet and add to a medium-size mixing bowl.
  5. Season with cinnamon and cayenne pepper and toss with butter to coat.
  6. Mold the salad into fun shapes using your favorite cookie or biscuit cutter or scoop a heaping spoonful onto a plate. Serve as the main dish for lunch, as a side dish for dinner or serve it topped with a poached egg for breakfast. Paleo Beet Tartare can be served warm or cold the next day.
  7. Enjoy! :)
