Recipe View 10 mins Sear beef shank in a large soup pot over high heat until browned on all sides (approximately 3 minutes per side). Add water, onion, carrots, celery, and bay leaf. Bring to a gentle simmer and cook until the meat is incredibly tender and easily falls off the bone (about 4 hours). Strain the broth through a fine-mesh sieve, discarding the solids.

Recipe View 5 mins Ladle the borscht into bowls. Garnish generously with a dollop of sour cream and a sprinkle of fresh dill before serving.

For an even richer flavor, consider using homemade beef broth. Roasting the beef shank before searing will also deepen the flavor profile.
Feel free to adjust the amount of vinegar to suit your preference for tartness. A touch of sugar can also be added to balance the acidity.
Borscht tastes even better the next day, as the flavors have more time to meld together. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
Consider adding a minced clove of garlic along with the onions and carrots for extra depth of flavor.
