Preparation steps
1.
Prepare your grill for indirect cooking at medium-high heat.
2.
Removed greens from the beet root and set aside. Scrub the beets and trim the ends. In two batches of three beets each, place the beets on a sheet of aluminum foil. Drizzle each batch with olive oil and season to taste with salt and pepper. Add a sprig of thyme to each foil packet, cover the beets with foil and crimp the edges to secure.
3.
Cook the beets in the foil packets, on indirect heat with the lid closed for 45 to 55 minutes. To check for doneness pierce with a skewer or the tines of a fork.
4.
Remove the foil packets from the grill, and let rest for about 10 minutes.
5.
Meanwhile, rinse the beet greens and shake to dry. Heat a splash of olive oil and the butter in a skillet. Saute the beet greens until just wilted.
6.
Carefully open up the foil, and peel the skin off the beets using paper towels. Cut the beets into wedges and divide the beets and greens among plates. Drizzle with olive oil and season to taste with cracked pepper. Serve.
