Flat-Iron and BeetsFlat iron steak, charred cauliflower puree, wilted beet greens, beet vinaigrette, beet powder.
The inspiration behind this dish was to show you how many ways you can use beets. We also wanted to give you a taste of the modern ingredients we plan on implementing in our future recipes. You can buy xanthan gum and coconut extract at any upscale market like Whole Foods. If you don't have a dehydrator, you can easily use an oven to substitute. A juicer is required and we highly recommend one in general.
