Step-by-Step Guide
Step 1
Pour 1 liter of water into a pot, add the beef tails, 150 grams of carrot, and bay leaf.
Step 2
Cook for 4 hours on low heat, skimming off any foam that appears. Strain the resulting broth.
Step 3
Cut the vegetables into strips: bell pepper, celery, beetroot, and garlic. Reserve some bell pepper for serving, and sauté the remaining vegetables in vegetable oil.
Step 4
Add the sautéed vegetables to the broth. Cook for 20 minutes on low heat. Strain the resulting broth.
Step 5
Chop the remaining onion and carrot coarsely. Reserve some carrot for serving.
Step 6
In a hot skillet, sear the beef cheeks on both sides. Place the cheeks and the coarsely chopped onion and carrot in a baking bag and slow-cook in an oven preheated to 185°F for 12 hours.
Step 7
Shred the braised beef cheek into small fibers. Mix the resulting filling with khmeli-suneli spice, adding salt to taste.
Step 8
Blanch the beet leaves in boiling water. Wrap 30-gram balls of filling in each beet leaf.
Step 9
Dice the vegetables for serving into small cubes.
Step 10
In the center of a soup plate, arrange five cabbage rolls in a circle. In the center of the resulting circle, alternately place the carrot and bell pepper. Serve with borscht poured over.
