Kitchen utensils

1 Pot, 1 Small baking dish, 1 Bowl, 1 Measuring cups, 1 Cutting board, 1 Large knife, 1 Small knife, 1 Tablespoon, 1 Teaspoon, 1 Wooden spoon, 1 Peeler, 1 Fine-mesh sieve, 1 Immersion blender

Preparation steps

Put the beef, salt, peppercorns, juniper berries and bay leaf in a large pot with the beef broth and bring to a boil. Simmer for 1 1/2 hours.

Take the meat from the pot. Remove any fat and sinews and cut into bite-sized pieces. Strain the liquid.

Heat the oil in a large casserole dish. Saute the onions and garlic for approximately 3 minutes until they begin to brown. Add the celery root and beets. Continue cooking for an additional 3 minutes.

Pour in enough of the beef broth to cover the vegetables. Add the vinegar, sugar and pepper and simmer over a low heat for approx. 30 minutes.

Add the tomatoes and cabbage to the other vegetables. Add enough beef broth to cover and simmer for an additional 30 minutes.

Rinse the dill and shake off any excess moisture. Chop finely. Stir the cubed beef into the borscht.

Season to taste with vinegar, sugar, and salt and stir in the dill. Serve with the soured cream as a garnish.
