If you have large beets you may want to cut them in halves or quarters to make sure they will cook in two hours. It’s fine to peel them first if you prefer.

Get the beets, beef, onions and tomatoes simmering for the first hour or so. Then add the other vegetables and simmer until they are cooked to taste, maybe 30-40 min more.

salt and garlic should go in at the beginning too.
