How much beef should be put in borscht?
Reading time - 3 minutes.
Too little meat in borscht will not give the desired richness and taste. And if you put too much meat, then this, in addition to uneconomic, will make the borsch too high in calories and difficult to digest. It is better to follow the classic recommendations.
For a 5-liter saucepan, take 3 liters of water and 500-600 grams of meat, not counting the weight of the bone, because it will be extracted from the finished borscht. For cooking classic borscht it is meat with bone that is needed, since broth cooked on bone has a much richer taste. Traditionally, beef is used for borscht, since pork borscht is more rich.
