Step-by-Step Instructions
- Prepare the beets
Peel the beets and cut them into evenly sized cubes. This helps them cook uniformly and absorb the sauce better. - Start the glaze
In a medium saucepan, add the diced beets, butter, brown sugar, vinegar, and water. Stir gently to combine. - Simmer slowly
Bring the mixture to a light simmer over medium heat. Cover and cook for 20–30 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the beets are fork-tender. - Reduce and shine
Remove the lid and let the sauce reduce for 5–10 minutes. As the liquid thickens, it will coat the beets in a deep, glossy glaze. - Season and serve
Add salt to taste and a pinch of pepper or herbs if desired. Serve warm.
What Makes This Dish So Addictive
