Roast Beef Puree - Master Chefs

Preheat the oven to 450 F. Mix the oregano, thyme, fennel seed, coriander, rosemary, bay leaves and peppercorns together. Place the beets in a roasting pan, and sprinkle with the the mixture of dried spices and herbs and drizzle with olive oil to coat. Bake, uncovered, until tender when pierced with a fork (about 1 hour.) When cool enough to handle, slip off the skins. Quarter the beets and transfer them to a processor. Process the beets until coarsely chopped. Transfer them again to a small saucepan and stir over medium heat until heated through. Add the butter and stir until glossy. Season to taste with salt, and serve immediately.
