BEEF BORSCHT
Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- Place the bacon in a Dutch oven or stockpot and cook, stirring, over medium-high heat until the fat begins to render, about 3 minutes. Add the beef and cook, stirring, until brown on all sides, about 5 minutes. Remove the meat from the pan with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
- To the fat in the pan, add the onions and carrots, and stir to coat. Cook until soft, about 4 minutes. Add the garlic, oregano, dill seeds, and bay leaves and cook, stirring, for 1 minute. Add the red wine vinegar and stir to deglaze the pan. Return the meat to the pot and add the water, salt, and pepper and bring to boil. Reduce the heat and simmer partially covered until the beef is tender, about 2 hours.
- Meanwhile, place the beets on a baking sheet and brush with the oil. Roast until tender and can be pierced easily with a knife, about 1 hour. Remove from the oven and let sit until cool enough to handle. Trim the stem and root ends and remove the skins. Coarsely grate and set aside.
- When the meat is tender and falling apart, add the beets, potatoes, and cabbage. Simmer over low heat for another 30 minutes. Season with additional red wine vinegar, salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste.
- Ladle borscht into bowls and garnish with a dollop of sour cream and pinch of fresh dill.

Steps:
- Heat oil in heavy large pot over medium-high heat. Add potatoes, cabbage and onion and sauté until cabbage softens, about 5 minutes. Add 8 cups broth, beets and tomatoes. Bring soup to boil. Reduce heat and simmer until vegetables are tender, about 30 minutes.
- Working in small batches, puree 4 cups of soup in blender; return to remaining soup in pot. If desired, add more broth by 1/2 cupfuls to thin soup. Add lemon juice; season with salt and pepper.
- Ladle soup into bowls. Top with dollop of sour cream; sprinkle with parsley. Serve, passing lemon wedges separately.
Tips:
- Choose the right cut of beef. For borscht, you want a cut of beef that is flavorful and has a good amount of fat, such as chuck roast or brisket. Avoid leaner cuts of beef, such as sirloin or flank steak, as they will not produce as much flavor.
- Brown the beef before adding it to the soup. This will help to develop the flavor of the beef and prevent it from becoming tough.
- Use a variety of vegetables in your borscht. Besides cabbage and beets, you can also add carrots, potatoes, turnips, and onions. The more vegetables you add, the more flavorful your borscht will be.
- Season your borscht to taste. Borscht is typically seasoned with salt, pepper, and dill. You can also add other spices, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or paprika, to taste.
- Serve borscht with a dollop of sour cream or yogurt. This will help to balance out the acidity of the soup and make it even more delicious.
Conclusion:
Borscht is a delicious and hearty soup that is perfect for a cold winter day. It is also a very versatile soup, so you can easily customize it to your own taste. With a few simple tips, you can make a pot of borscht that your family and friends will love.
