Salad with beef and pickled onions

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 1 hr 40 mins

1. STEP 1

   

   How to make a salad with beef and pickled onions? Prepare all the necessary ingredients. Wash the beef. Pour water into a saucepan and place it on the fire. When the water boils, dip the meat into it, wait until it boils and remove the foam using a strainer or a spoon with holes. Add salt and cook the meat over moderate heat for about 1 hour 20 minutes. Remove the finished meat from the pan and let cool.

2. STEP 2

   

   Disassemble the cooled meat into fibers with your hands.

3. STEP 3

   

   Peel the onion and cut into thin half rings. Transfer it to a small deep bowl and pour boiling water to the edges of the bowl, pour 9% vinegar (2 tablespoons) into it. Leave the onions to marinate for 30 minutes. During this time, the bitterness should leave it.

4. STEP 4

   

   How to make salad dressing? Pour refined vegetable oil into a frying pan, heat it a little over medium heat, add chopped garlic and fry for 1 minute while stirring. Garlic can be finely chopped with a knife or grated on a coarse grater. Add tomato paste and simmer all together for 3 minutes while stirring. The dressing is ready. You will learn how to choose a frying pan and oil for frying by reading the articles at the end of this recipe.

5. STEP 5

   

   Transfer the meat to a suitable sized bowl. Drain the liquid from the onion and add it to the meat. Stir.

6. STEP 6

   

   Add still hot (!) tomato dressing, salt and pepper to taste. Mix everything well again. To fully prepare the salad, you need to give it time to soak - let it stand in the refrigerator for 2 hours before serving. During this time, you can stir it several more times. Serve the salad with boiled beef and onions, garnishing it with herbs if desired.

I had a piece of boiled meat and wanted to make some kind of salad with it for a snack. On the site I found a recipe for a salad with beef and pickled onions. The recipe is very simple and easy to follow. My meat was already boiled with a bay leaf and onion for flavor. Chilled meat cuts better, so let it cool completely. Cut into thin strips. Sometimes the meat does not cut well, then it is better to separate it into fibers, as in the recipe. Luka took 4 small “turnips” and cut them into rings. I took the rings apart and poured boiling water over them, adding vinegar. But I marinated it for 10 minutes. For the dressing, I chopped the garlic finely and fried it in hot oil, the aroma was incredibly appetizing! Instead of tomato paste I used ketchup. I fried everything and added it to the meat and onions. I let the salad sit for half an hour in the refrigerator. I liked the result! The salad is very tasty, spicy, aromatic! I love it when there are a lot of onions. And it became softer after boiling water, but remained a little crunchy and not bitter at all. You can feel the sourness from the vinegar and tomato. This salad is good to eat with fresh black bread and wash down with something strong).
