Until it is tender (can be easily split open with a fork). Time varies according to size and cooking method.

Whole young beets, you can boil or bake for 30 to 40 minutes depending on their size. Old beets will cook in 1 hour or more. Microwaving will reduce the time to 8-12 min. Grated sauteed beets will be done in 15 min.

To determine if the beets are done, pierce them with a knife - the fork will let juices run, or press with the finger. The beet will be tender when sufficiently cooked.
