Sauteed beef and potato latkes (Blue Apron)

10 Ounces Thinly Sliced Beef
1 Cage-Free Farm Egg
2 Carrots
2 Russet Potatoes
1 Yellow Onion
1 Beet
1 Bunch Thyme
1 Bunch Chives
2 Tablespoons Crème Fraîche
2 Tablespoons Tomato Paste
1 Tablespoon White Wine Vinegar
¼ Cup Matzo Meal

Preheat the oven to 475°F. On a paper towel-lined cutting board, peel the beet; cut into ½-inch-thick sticks. Peel the carrots; cut into ½-inch-thick sticks.  Peel the onion; thinly slice 1 half, leaving the remaining half intact. Cut the chives into 1-inch pieces.
Place the beet and carrots on a sheet pan. Drizzle with olive oil; season with salt, pepper and half the thyme. Toss to thoroughly coat. Arrange in a single, even layer and roast, stirring halfway through, 16 to 18 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender when pierced with a fork. Remove from the oven.
While the beet and carrots roast, in a large pan, heat 2 teaspoons of olive oil on medium until hot. Add the sliced onion. Cook, stirring occasionally, 8 to 10 minutes, or until lightly browned. Add 1 tablespoon of water. Cook, stirring frequently, 1 to 2 minutes, or until very tender. Add the tomato paste and remaining thyme; cook, stirring frequently, 1 to 2 minutes, or until dark red. Add the vinegar and ¼ cup of water (be careful, as the liquid may splatter). Cook, stirring frequently, 30 seconds to 1 minute, or until well combined. Transfer to a bowl.
While the onion cooks, crack the egg into a large bowl; beat until smooth. Grate the potatoes and remaining onion half on the large side of a box grater. Place in the bowl of beaten egg and season with salt and pepper. Add the matzo meal; mix until thoroughly combined. Using your hands, divide the mixture into 6 equal-sized portions, squeezing out and discarding any excess liquid. Flatten each portion into a ¼-inch-thick round and transfer to a paper towel-lined plate.
Rinse and wipe out the pan used to caramelize the onion. In the same pan, heat a thin layer of oil on medium-high until hot. Once the oil is hot enough that a drop of the latke mixture sizzles immediately when added to the pan, add the latkes. (If necessary, work in batches.) Cook 5 to 7 minutes per side, or until browned and cooked through. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate and immediately season with salt; set aside in a warm place. Carefully discard the oil and wipe out the pan.
Using your hands, separate the beef; pat dry with paper towels. Transfer to a bowl; season with salt and pepper. Toss to coat. In the same pan, heat 1 teaspoon of olive oil on high until hot. Add the beef in a single layer; cook, without stirring, 1 to 2 minutes, or until browned on the first side. Add the caramelized onion. Cook, stirring constantly, 30 seconds to 1 minute, or until combined and the beef is just cooked through. Divide the beef, cooked latkes and roasted beet and carrots between 2 dishes. Garnish with the chives. Garnish the latkes with the crème fraîche. Enjoy!
