Steak Sandwich tomatoes grow large and have that old-fashioned tomato taste that is perfect for sandwiches or salads. They grow firm even when fully ripe which makes them very easy to slice for a good BLT or hamburger. Plants produce high yields well into fall.
Depending on the recipe, some of these components may be omitted or substituted for. Borscht ingredients may include beef, pork, lard, beetroots, cabbage, carrots, celeriac, onions, potatoes, mushrooms, tomato paste, parsley, chives, dill, bay leaves, allspice and black pepper.
In the summertime, cold borscht is a popular alternative to the aforementioned variants, which are normally served hot. It consists of beet sour or beet juice blended with sour cream, buttermilk, soured milk, kefir or yogurt, and is refrigerated. The mixture has a distinctive pink or magenta color.
