What a wonderful taste and includes the borscht ingredients I wanted (beef stock, cabbage) and excludes what I didn’t (mushrooms, sausage). I didn’t summer the shank for 4 hours, due to time, but it was tasty after only 2.5. I used a bit of red wine to deglaze the pan after browning the beef and giving the veg a quick fry. I also added the vinegar in the first step. I also added a splash of balsamic vinegar, which I put in almost anything braised. For the beets I actually boiled them for 30 first with skins on. Set them aside while the beef simmered in the beet liquid, and then peeled them. I added them back before serving.

So delicious ... best Borscht I have ever tried." Keep Screen Awake ## Ingredients 1/2x 1x 2x Oops! Something went wrong. Our team is working on it. This recipe was developed at its original yield. Ingredient amounts are automatically adjusted, but cooking times and steps remain unchanged. Note that not all recipes scale perfectly. Original recipe (1X) yields 8 servings - 1 (1 inch thick) slice bone-in beef shank - 3 quarts water - 1 onion, chopped - 1 cup chopped carrots - ½ cup chopped celery - 1 bay leaf - 3 cups diced peeled beets - 2 cups chopped cabbage - ¼ cup white vinegar, or to taste - salt and ground black pepper to taste - 1 cup sour cream, for garnish - 2 tablespoons chopped fresh dill, for garnish ## Directions 1.

Garnished with low sugar plain yogurt which is healthier than sour cream. Delicious. 06 of 23 ![]() Photo by Sue 01/13/2019 Yes, I will make this again! What a wonderful taste and includes the borscht ingredients I wanted (beef stock, cabbage) and excludes what I didn’t (mushrooms, sausage). I didn’t summer the shank for 4 hours, due to time, but it was tasty after only 2.5. I used a bit of red wine to deglaze the pan after browning the beef and giving the veg a quick fry. I also added the vinegar in the first step. I also added a splash of balsamic vinegar, which I put in almost anything braised. For the beets I actually boiled them for 30 first with skins on. Set them aside while the beef simmered in the beet liquid, and then peeled them. I added them back before serving.
