Russian Borsht Stew instructions

1. In large stew pot: melt butter and then add onions, garlic, and beef. Heat on med-high until outside of beef is browned..
2. Remove beef from pot and chop into bite-sized chunks. Return to pot and add potatoes, beets, carrots, celery, canned tomato, and water to pot. Cover and simmer for 1 hr or until beef is tender..
3. Add salt and pepper as necessary. Serve with a spoonful of sour cream..
4. Vegetarian - use vegetable stock and no beef. Still suuuper tasty!.
5. Crock pot - brown beef and then add all ingredients to crock pot. Cook in crock pot for 4-6 hrs. For those with a day job, this recipe is awesome to just throw all ingredients in the crock pot and set on low in the morning. It will be perfect by the evening and the longer in the pot the better the flavors. Not really necessary to brown the beef but it does add another layer of flavor..
