Serves Many! (Approximately 24 portions, 1 cup each)
Some people and cookbooks call this "borscht". My Ukrainian-born friend who gave me this recipe says that it is supposed to be "borsh." She was a Captain in the Israeli Defense Forces, and is a fierce woman. Who am I to question her?
Well, actually, I question her quite a bit, when I interviewed her for my podcast, Make Your Someday Today (abbreviated as MYST). You can hear the complete interview at MakeYourSomedayToday.com/JulieSheranosher
Ingredients:
2 pounds (1kg) top loin steak or round steak. Use a lean cut, and trim excess fat. Cut this into squares 1" (2.5cm) on a side

2-4 cloves garlic, or more to preference
6-8 black peppercorns
1 big or 2 small onions, diced
2 large beets, peeled and grated
2 large carrots, peeled and grated
3 large potatoes, peeled and cut into 1" cubes
3 tablespoons tomato paste
1 small cabbage, thinly shredded (or use a 12 ounce bag of pre shredded cabbage)
2 red bell peppers, diced
fresh parsely, 2 large handfuls
1 tablespoon white sugar
sour cream and fresh chives for garnish.
