Salad with beef pepper and cucumber

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 3 hr

1. STEP 1

   

   How to make a salad with beef pepper and cucumber? Prepare your food. Wash vegetables and herbs and let the water drain. Wash the meat and dry with paper towels. The recipe uses beef pulp, but you can use any lean meat.

2. STEP 2

   

   Cut the cucumbers in half. Half again in half, and then into three parts, if the cucumber is large, then into four. You can do it diagonally obliquely. You should get approximately the same straw with a green side. Place all the cucumbers in a deep salad bowl or wide bowl, add salt and mix well. Leave for half an hour, stir occasionally.

3. STEP 3

   

   Cut the onion into quarters. Halve the pepper, halve it again and cut it into 0.4 - 0.5 cm strips, slightly wider than the onion. The meat is also in strips, but very thin. If the piece is large, then first cut matchbox sticks across the grain, and then each piece along the grain into thin slices.

4. STEP 4

   

   While the cucumbers are salting, fry the meat with onions and peppers. Heat the oil, add the meat, reduce the heat to medium, stir-fry until the liquid evaporates. When the foam goes away, add the onion and fry for 3 minutes until it starts to golden. Immediately add the pepper, fry for a couple of minutes and remove from the stove or leave it turned off. Do not salt the meat, it will then be soaked in soy sauce, or add just a little salt.

5. STEP 5

   

   At the end of frying the meat, if half an hour has passed, drain the cucumbers of the liquid that they secrete abundantly. Taste the cucumbers. The salt is different, if suddenly it turns out too salty for your taste, just rinse with water, you need to take into account that soy sauce will be added, and it is salty. Finely chop a bunch of cilantro and mix the greens with cucumbers.

6. STEP 6

   

   Add sugar, soy sauce and 1 teaspoon of vinegar essence to the cucumbers, stir. Place sesame seeds pre-fried in a dry frying pan, fried ground coriander, paprika, ground black and red hot pepper in mounds on top. Squeeze the garlic through a press. Do not mix the spice mounds.

7. STEP 7

   

   Pour hot oil from the frying pan onto them, then add equally hot meat and vegetables and leave for a couple of minutes so that the spices warm up and give off all their wonderful aroma. Only then mix thoroughly.

8. STEP 8

   

   Leave on the table for two hours to soak, don’t forget to stir several times and can be served as a separate dish or with rice, potatoes, pasta, or cereals. If you are not going to eat it right away, close it tightly and put it in the refrigerator. If it sits overnight, the chilled salad will be even tastier. A lot of dressing will accumulate at the bottom, it is very tasty, but you can serve it with or without it.
