Slow Cooker Borscht image

This is a really delicious recipe that I've been making for years. Everyone who tries it wants the recipe! You have to spend a little time chopping all the veggies, but once you do, you just pop it into the slow cooker and let it go! Husband approved. :)

Time 8h20m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 18

1 lb top sirloin steak (cut into 1/2-inch bits)
4 medium beets, peeled and chopped
28 ounces large can diced tomatoes (28 oz)
2 medium potatoes, peeled and chopped
1 cup baby carrots, cut into bite-sized pieces
1 onion, chopped
3 garlic cloves, minced
3 cups shredded green cabbage
2 -4 cups beef broth
6 ounces tomato paste (6 oz)
6 tablespoons red wine vinegar
3 tablespoons brown sugar
1 tablespoon dried parsley
1 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 teaspoons dried dill weed
1/2 teaspoon cracked black pepper
1 bay leaf
16 tablespoons reduced-fat sour cream, 2 tablespoons sour cream per person to serve reduced fat

Steps:

  • Combine the beef and all the chopped vegetables except the cabbage in your slow cooker. You're going to need a BIG oval one; if you have a smaller crock pot, you'll need to adjust the recipe accordingly.
  • Combine 2 cups of the beef broth with the tomato paste, vinegar, brown sugar, parsley, salt, dill weed, pepper, and bay leaf. Mix to combine, then pour over the vegetable/beef mix.
  • If the vegetable/beef mix is not completely covered by the liquid, top off with the extra beef broth until they are.
  • Cover and cook on the low heat setting for 8 and 1/2 hours. You can cheat and use high heat for 4 hours if you're in a hurry, but don't expect it to be as good.
  • When the 8 and 1/2 hours are up, turn your cooker onto high heat and add the shredded cabbage. Cover again and cook on high for 30 minutes to an hour depending upon how soft you like your cabbage.
  • Remove the bay leaf. Ladle into a bowl and garnish with two tablespoons of sour cream.

I'm not a huge fan of beets, but I really enjoyed this borscht. The sweetness of the beets was balanced out by the tanginess of the cabbage and the earthiness of the beef.

I'm not sure if I did something wrong, but my borscht came out really watery. It wasn't thick and hearty like I was expecting.

I found this recipe to be a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I would reduce the amount of sugar next time.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my borscht turned out really bland. I followed the recipe exactly, but it just didn't have much flavor. Maybe I used the wrong type of beets?
