Salad with beef and pickled cucumbers

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 42 mins

1. STEP 1

   

   How to make Salad with beef and pickled cucumbers? Prepare all the necessary products. Take fresh, chilled beef - there is much less benefit in frozen products. I use marbled beef - it has streaks of fat and the meat is not dry at all after cooking. The eggs are large, preferably homemade, or in extreme cases CO. Pickled cucumbers, which, however, can be replaced with pickles. All products must be fresh and refrigerated.

2. STEP 2

   

   Boil the beef, add a little salt to the water at the very end. The cooking time depends on the size of the piece; on average, 500 g of beef requires about 30 minutes of cooking, although the longer this time, the softer the finished beef will be. You can also fry the meat - this will give the finished salad a completely unique taste and aroma!

3. STEP 3

   

   Cool the beef and cut into small cubes. I use beef in this salad, but you can also use pork, veal, and even chicken. Of course, the taste of the finished salad will be slightly different, but still very tasty.

4. STEP 4

   

   Wash the cucumbers, dry them, cut off the “butts”. Cut the cucumbers into small cubes.

5. STEP 5

   

   Boil the eggs hard - this is about 8 minutes after boiling. Cool and also cut into small cubes.

6. STEP 6

   

   Combine all chopped ingredients and add salt. Keep in mind that mayonnaise is also quite salty.

7. STEP 7

   

   Season the salad with mayonnaise. Not all people eat mayonnaise, especially store-bought mayonnaise. Therefore, I highly recommend using homemade mayonnaise. Or it can be replaced with sour cream or light yogurt, such as Greek.

8. STEP 8

   

   Serve the salad to the table. Bon appetit!

I prepared a salad with beef and pickled cucumbers. I cooked beef broth and set aside a piece of beef for the salad. I chopped the meat, cucumbers, eggs, seasoned everything with mayonnaise - the salad is ready! I like salads with a small amount of ingredients - they cook quickly and the taste of each of the products, as they say, is not “clogged”. I liked the combination of ingredients in this salad. Nourishing, tasty. I will be happy to cook again. Thanks for the recipe, Natalya Tsibulskaya!
