    I love Russian food!! All of it is my favorite. I love especially love how everyone’s Borsht recipe is so different but incredibly delicious at the same time.

    My all time favorite Russian food is shuba salad!

    Favorite dish would be vareniki because of the variety that there is and room for creativity in the filling.

      While at a friend for dinner she made us the most delicious cake. I found the recipe on your site and made it for my husband for his birthday. It was almost as good as our friend Natasha. It was your chocolate spartak cake. Such a labor of love. My daughter is requesting it for her wedding cake. Thank you for such a great recipe and new family favorite.

    We love borshch at our house too! I like your tip to cook it on low heat at the end. I think that when I cook it on higher heat it cooks out the color and it becomes more orange than red.

    My dad’s side of our family is Eastern European. Summers as a kid we’d go visit his family in Kansas City. My favorite entree would be a stuffed cabbage my great aunt made. As a kid I never ate the cabbage leaf but the inside stuffing meat was delish. But my all time favorite Eastern European dish would be English Walnut Povitica. We’d go through several loaves every Christmas! Just thinking about it makes me hungry for it!

    I’m Chinese and I’ve made this Borscht a few times following Tatyana’s recipe. The spices (coriander, cumin, pepper, etc) make it incredibly flavorful. I actually just throw all the veggies in the pot, meaning I don’t make a separate mire-poix. The last few times, I nixed the beef roast because we’re trying to cut down on our meat intake. Regardless, my Ukrainian husband really likes it!

    My family always made borscht with ham, then there was corn, green beans, peas, and carrots. At the end shoe string beets were added along with fresh heavy cream. It was always served with a great artisan bread, to put the ham on. I seriously have been looking for someone who does it this way, to no avail. It’s so amazing I eat it for breakfast too.

      That sounds delicious! It’s definitely a family recipe as I haven’t tried a borscht like that before. Perhaps you can adjust this recipe and include all your favorite fillings?! My dad makes this recipe but also likes to add beans! Hope you enjoy it!

    • Classic Beef Borscht Recipe (video) (1)

    Hello Tatyana
    Thanks for some great recipes!
    I noticed that you have essentially two recipes for borscht: 1 on the video and one that was printed but not videoed. I LOVE the recipe that was not videoed (it had a bit of ketchup in it). It has such a depth of flavour that puts it in a class of its own. I made it about two weeks ago and went to make it again the other day and I see it is no longer on your website :(. I made the one from the video, and although it is good, it just doesn’t hold a candle to the other one. Any way I can talk you into putting it back on your website?

    Thanks for considering.

    My store had no fresh beets this time of year so I am trying this with canned beets. They taste delicious out of the can so are better than nothing!

      Yes, this would be a great soup to freeze, too! I hope you enjoy the recipe! When you have fresh beets again, try those, too! They will add even more flavor! 🙂

    I assume the beets are used raw? So peel and dice raw beetroots and cook them in the soup?
    I have a few other recipes that use cooked (roasted) beets so I need to clarify this as I’d love to try this recipe! 🙂

    thanks for the refresher course on Borscht – my mother in law since passed made this regularly in the 80’s being from Odesa it was a little different then I have been searching for but yours was the closest I could find- made today ( minus the celery) but adding green pepper turned out wonderful! thanks so much God Bless Ukraine!

    Amazing borscht, thank you, Tatyana! The flavours were perfect. My stepdaughter told me to tell you that she ate it faster than she’s ever eaten a soup/stew before… and she definitely gobbled it up!

    I made the dish with ground pork and beef, because that is what I had on hand. And instead of tomato sauce I used tomato paste. Again, because that is what I had. It all turned out fabulous. A definite keeper!

    Can I use precooked beets? If so, when would I add them to the pot?

    • Reply
      • tatyanaseverydayfood

      Hi! Sure, you could use precooked, too. I would add them at the end with the cabbage, otherwise they’ll get overcooked and mushy. Just let the soup stand for about 30 minutes before enjoying.

    Hi Tatyana,
    I’m in the middle of preparing the Classic Beef Borscht (using this recipe for the first time, super excited to try out this delicious looking borscht recipe) and have learned that you dice the beets in this recipe in. Is that your personal preference vs. grating it? Or is there a beneficial reason to do it that way? My family has always used the grater, that’s why I found it interesting.

    *Since beets are dark, it was hard to tell in the video wether they were diced into larger pieces or not vs other veggies? I was hoping to find out how do you dice your beats.
    Also, Is it OK to substitute beef tri-tips for sirloin? Our local grocery stores don’t seem to carry it. Would have to try a butcher’s shop next time.
    Thank you so much for the recipe!!

      • tatyanaseverydayfood

      Hi! I’m so glad you found my recipe! I hope you enjoy it. In my family, we always diced the beets but I think if you grate them, that should work well, too. I think it’s just a matter of preference; it shouldn’t affect the recipe.
      And yes, sirloin or beef chuck/roast will also work great for this recipe. Hope you enjoy the recipe!

        Thank you so much! It came out great!
        I love how you add cumin and coriander and even lemon juice as optional. It makes such a difference. The flavor was spot on. Even with minor mistakes of mine, it still came out absolutely delicious! My second day having it and it tastes even better! Those who make borscht on regular basis know what I’m talking about. My dad loves borscht and he approved! 😉

      Having an extra 1/4 cup of beets, or slightly less, will not change the final result.
