Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams beef chuck, cut into 1-inch cubes
- 3 pieces medium beetroots, peeled and grated
- 1 piece large carrot, peeled and grated
- 1 piece large potato, peeled and diced
- 1 piece medium onion, finely chopped
- 2 pieces garlic cloves, minced
- 4 cups vegetable or beef stock
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 piece bay leaf
- 2 tablespoons fresh dill, chopped
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
- optional sour cream, for serving
Instructions
In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the beef cubes and brown them on all sides, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the beef and set aside.
In the same pot, add the chopped onion and minced garlic. Sauté for about 3 minutes until the onion becomes translucent.
Add the grated beetroots and carrot to the pot. Stir well and cook for another 5 minutes until the vegetables are slightly softened.
Return the browned beef to the pot and pour in the vegetable or beef stock. Add the diced potato and bay leaf.
Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer. Cover and cook for about 70-80 minutes, or until the beef is tender and the vegetables are fully cooked.
Season the soup with salt and ground black pepper. Taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary.
Remove the bay leaf. Stir in the fresh chopped dill just before serving.
Ladle the soup into bowls and serve hot. Add a dollop of sour cream on top if desired.
