Savory beef shank broth with cabbage, carrots, and celery make a comforting hot borscht.
Ingredients:
  • 3 pounds bone-in beef shank
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 6 cups water
  • 0.5 pound carrots, cut into 1 inch pieces
  • 2 stalks celery, cut into 1 inch pieces
  • 0.33000001311302 medium head cabbage, shredded
  • 1 pound beets, peeled and shredded
  • 1 cup tomato juice
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 2 teaspoons white sugar
  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • 0.125 teaspoon ground black pepper
Instructions:
  • In a large pot over medium heat, sear the beef in oil until golden. Add onion and water, then simmer covered for 2 hours until the meat is tender.
  • Take out the meat from the broth and let it cool for a bit. Add carrots, celery, cabbage, beets, tomato juice, lemon juice, sugar, salt, and pepper to the broth. Once the meat has cooled down a bit, remove it from the bone and cut it into bite-size pieces. Put the meat back into the soup and cook until the vegetables are tender, around 20 to 30 minutes.
