To prepare a delicious beef borscht, start by choosing a quality piece of beef, such as the shoulder or thigh, which will be simmered slowly to become tender and flavorful. Place the meat in a large pot, cover it with cold water, and bring it to a boil, skimming occasionally to remove the impurities that form on the surface. This step is essential for obtaining a clear and tasty borscht.
While the meat is boiling, prepare the vegetables. Chop the onion into small cubes and sauté it in a pan with a little heated oil. Sautéing the onion will add a sweet flavor to the dish. After a few minutes, add the grated carrot and parsley root to incorporate them into the dish. Also add the finely chopped bell pepper, which will bring a note of freshness and color to your borscht.
After the meat has boiled for about an hour and has started to become tender, add the sautéed vegetable mixture over the meat, along with a bunch of fresh thyme. This will infuse the dish with a special aroma. Continue to simmer everything for about 30 minutes on low heat, so that the flavors combine perfectly.
Once the boiling time is up, add about 500 grams of tomato juice or, alternatively, 3 tablespoons of tomato paste, which will enrich the borscht with a vibrant color and intense flavor. Don’t forget about the noodles, which you can add directly to the pot. Start souring the dish with borscht, according to your preferences, being careful not to make it too sour.
Let everything simmer on low heat for another 10-15 minutes, so the noodles can cook and the flavors develop. Finally, remove the thyme from the pot and sprinkle chopped fresh parsley on top, which will add freshness and a pleasant appearance to the dish.
To complete this savory borscht, prepare a garnish of grated horseradish, which you will mix with sour cream and season to taste. This mixture should be prepared at least an hour before serving, so the flavors have time to blend.
Serve the meat from the borscht with the sauce obtained, alongside a bunch of fresh parsley and, of course, with the horseradish mixed with sour cream. Enjoy your meal!
