Beefsteak is a thick, juicy slice of beef, typically cut from the hindquarters of a cow. It is often grilled, pan-fried, or broiled and is a popular choice in many cuisines worldwide due to its rich flavor and tenderness. The preparation and serving methods can vary, but it is usually served as a main course.
Deutsch: Bier
Beer is an alcoholic beverage produced by the saccharification of starch and fermentation of the resulting sugar. The starch and saccharification enzymes are often derived from malted cereal grains, most commonly malted barley and malted wheat. Most beer is also flavoured with hops, which add bitterness and act as a natural preservative, though other flavourings such as herbs or fruit may occasionally be included. The preparation of beer is called brewing. Beer is the world's most widely consumed alcoholic beverage, and is the third-most popular drink overall, after water and tea.

The beetroot, also known in North America as the table beet, garden beet, red or golden beet, or informally simply as the beet, refers to any of the cultivated varieties of beet (Beta vulgaris) grown for their edible taproots, especially B. vulgaris L. subsp. conditiva. They are among the most commonly encountered varieties in North America, Central America, and Europe.
Beetroot Achar/Achaar refers to pickles made of Beetroots. One of the vegetables available in Kerala, India which they made into pickles. Like in any other Achar which I already featured here. Beetroots are cut into small pieces and cooked with lots of spices, Red and Green Chili Pepper, Vinegar, Salt and Curry leaves. (Please see related article on Achar/Achaar for the spices used for making Achar).
Below is a picture of Beetroot Achar prepared by my my Aunt Lily in Allepey, Kerala, India. It is a mixed of spicy (from Red Chilies) and sweet taste of Beetroot. I love Beetroots and I intend to also prepared Beetroot Achar here in Germany, as soon as my order for fresh Curry leaves arrive.
