For Beef stock will need: some bones: I am using beef bone marrow bones, some gelatin meat: I am using ox tails, and some lean meat: I am using top sirloin. To make your beef stock flavorful you will need: 1 onion 1 carrot, 1 parsnip 1 celery stalk some parsley and dry spices like: bay leaves, coriander seeds and black peppercorns. Also, some salt and pepper to taste and one dry chilly pepper. For Borscht you will need: 3 medium size beets( with beet greens) 4 medium size potatoes 2 medium size carrots 1 parsnip 2 cloves of garlic 1 head of green cabbage celery greens 1 bunch of parsley 1 bunch of dill 2 tbsp white vinegar To serve you will need: 2 cloves of garlic fresh dill sour cream Method: In a large stock pot add all your meat and vegetables for the stock( you don't need to peel them, since they are going to be discarded after the stock is done). Add spices. Add cold water to cover stock size ¾ of a way. Set to boil. Right before boiling process have started collect and discard the foam that appeared on the top. Leave to simmer for about an hour. Peel beats. After one hour simmering time, take out bone marrow bones and you can enjoy them with just a sprinkle of salt or spread it on toast. Add beets to simmering stock and cook until beets are fork tender.(about 30-35 minutes). Take out the meat and beets, set aside to cool. Strain beef stock and return to pot. Set on slow simmer.
