Ingredients

3 to 4 medium red or yellow beets (1 1/2 pounds total), peeled and cut into 1/2-inch wedges
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
Coarse salt and ground pepper
1 skirt steak (1 1/2 pounds), cut into 4 equal pieces
1 bunch Swiss chard (12 ounces), ribs cut away and discarded, leaves cut into large pieces
2 teaspoons red-wine vinegar

Directions

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Place beets on a large sheet of foil; drizzle with 1 tablespoon oil and season with salt and pepper. Fold foil to make a packet and crimp edges to create a tight seal. Place on a rimmed baking sheet and roast until beets are tender, 25 to 30 minutes.
Meanwhile, in a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon oil over medium-high. Season steaks with salt and pepper and cook until medium-rare, 3 to 6 minutes per side (depending on thickness). Transfer to a plate to rest.
Wipe skillet clean with a paper towel; return to stove. Heat 1 tablespoon oil over medium-high. Add Swiss chard; cook, stirring constantly, until wilted, about 2 minutes. Add beets and vinegar; season with salt and pepper and toss to combine. Thinly slice steak against the grain and serve with beets and greens.
