Preparation
Roast the vegetables
Preheat the oven to 450°F. Peel and medium-dice the beets. On a lined sheet pan, separately toss the beets and cauliflower (halve if large) with a drizzle of oil, ½ the spices and S&P. Roast, stirring halfway, 20 to 23 min., until tender.
Cook the beef
Meanwhile, in a large pan, heat a drizzle of oil on medium-high. Add the beef* and ½ the garlic; season with the remaining spices and S&P. Cook, breaking up the meat, 4 to 6 min., until cooked through.
Mise en place
Meanwhile, zest and juice the lemon. In a medium bowl, combine the hummus, lemon zest, ½ the lemon juice and S&P.
Make the sauce
In a small bowl, whisk the tahini, remaining lemon juice and garlic, 1 ½ tbsp water (double for 4 portions) and S&P.
Plate your dish
Divide the hummus between your plates and spread out in a circular motion. Top with the beef and vegetables. Drizzle with the sauce. Bon appétit!
