Boiling is faster than steaming.
Roasting is the easiest method. Clean off the beets, wrap in foil, place on a roasting or sheet pan, and bake in a pre-heated oven at 350 degrees F. Time will vary with the size of the beets.
To test for doneness, pierce one beet with a small knife.
Let cool. Use a plastic bag to peel the beet by placing them one at time in it & rubbing them. This way your hands stay clean.

steaming always cooks faster. It is a more concentrated heat. However, to cook them more evenly you should start them in cool water on the stove so that the inside gets done at the same time as the outside. Otherwise you will just end up with a mess.

Boiling.
Hot water carries much more heat than does steam at
the same termperature..
Steam under pressure ( as in a pressure cooker ) can be
hotter than 212 F which is the only way it can cook faster
than water at the same temperature..

Steaming will retain flavor.
You should try grating beets over a salad raw, yummy.

steaming if you want the flavor of the beet
and boiling if you want a more mushy beet..

steaming can tenderize meat better than boiling IMO. But you can acheive a really soft beef with boiling.
