I made these beets last night and they were to die for! If I chose not to serve w/ the cheese, what type of meat entree could I serve with this?

Grilled lamb chops would get my vote.

In keeping with the peasant lunch spirit, how about a selection of charcuterie? A bit of cured ham, maybe some chorizo...

Alternatively, I think it would go quite well with beef, probably something simply done, like a nice grilled steak.

I'd go with a nice garlicky pork roast myself.
