Beets are done when you can poke a fork in and beets are soft. Immediately remove from heat and run cold water over the beets. Grab a towel or use your hands to rub skin off the beets. It should rub right off very easily. Chop beets to desired size. Add remaining salt, pepper and more olive oil if desired. Toss well.
