For a richer flavor, sear the beef stew meat in a skillet with a little oil before adding it to the slow cooker. Adjust the amount of red wine vinegar and brown sugar to suit your taste preferences. Some people prefer a tangier or sweeter borscht. Feel free to add other vegetables, such as bell peppers or celery, to customize the recipe. Fresh dill is a great addition as a garnish, if available. Borscht tastes even better the next day, as the flavors meld together. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
