Other 35 Mins Prep · 25 Mins Cook
- Preheat the oven to 200°C, gas mark 6.
- To make the pickled beetroot, thinly slice 3-4 cooked beetroots and place in a jar. Top with the vinegar, maple syrup, sumac and mustard seeds. Shake and refrigerate.
- To make the beet hummus, combine 300g cooked beetroot and hummus in a blender and blitz until smooth.
- To make the roasted beets, peel and quarter the raw beetroots. Place them on a baking tray and toss with the olive oil and ½ tsp salt. Roast for 25–30 minutes, turning halfway, until tender and caramelised. Remove and set aside to cool.
- Mince 1 clove of garlic. Rinse the freekeh under cold water. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a medium-sized saucepan and sauté the garlic for 1 minute. Add the freekeh and toast lightly. Pour in the broth and ½ tsp salt. Bring to a boil then reduce to a simmer. Cover and cook for 20 minutes until the freekeh is tender and fluffy.
- To make the chimichurri, combine 3 garlic cloves, shallot, chilli and herbs in a food processor. Pulse until the mixture is finely chopped, then scrape the contents into a bowl. Stir through the vinegar, salt and olive oil.
- Spread the beetroot hummus on the bottom of the bowls. Spoon the freekeh over, then top with sliced steak, roasted and pickled beetroot and chimichurri. Serve while warm.
