• Pickles — 6 pcs.
• Carrot — 150 g.
• Parsley — 50 g.

How to make the beef salad

Step 1. Prepare all the ingredients.

Then boil beef steaks for 1 hour and a half. Remember to remove the foam from the broth while boiling. Beef must be cooked and cooled in advance. Boil with allspice,  salt and bay leaf. Leave the meat to cool in the broth to remain juicy.

Step 2. Disassemble the cooled meat into fibers or cut it into strips. Put in a salad bowl.

Step 3. Grind the carrot on a coarse grater, and slice the onion in rings. Then simmer them for five minutes on vegetable oil.

Step 4. Dice the pickles. If they are too watery, they can be put in a sieve for a couple of minutes for the liquid to drain out for a couple of minutes.

Step 6. Chop the garlic.

Step 7. Wait till the meat cools down. Separate it into small pieces: mix meat, carrot, onion, garlic, and pickles in a big bowl.

Step 8. For dressing mix sour cream, black ground pepper and Provence mixture. Pour the dressing on top of the ingredients and mix well.

Step 9. Chop parsley and green onion for garnishing.
