Salad with boiled beef and bell pepper

Country kitchen

Today we're serving you a wonderful salad with boiled beef and bell peppers. Of course, the meat plays a crucial and starring role here. For this recipe with photos, we'll need a high-quality cut of meat. It's important to keep in mind that the salad requires the most tender cut of meat; young veal is best. The "nut" or "apple" cuts are excellent.

At first glance, this salad seems light, even diet-friendly, but we can assure you that it's filling and nutritious. This is all thanks to the beef. It adds a twist to a typical vegetable salad, so when preparing this dish, you can be sure no one will go hungry. Moreover, this salad with boiled beef and bell peppers will be a hit with men, who often shy away from vegetable dishes. This one is quite the opposite: everyone will want to try something unusual.

Ingredients:

beef pulp – 350 g;
red bell pepper – 80 g;
red onion – 50 g;
fresh cucumber – 100 g;
tomatoes – 100 g;
olive oil – 50 g;
lemon juice – 1.5-2 tablespoons;
salt, pepper – to taste.

How to make a salad with boiled beef and bell peppers

First, boil the beef: cover with cold water and simmer for 40-50 minutes until tender. Season the meat with salt to taste while cooking. Cool and cut into large pieces. By the way, beef slices better if it's thoroughly cooled, preferably in the refrigerator.

For the salad, we'll need juicy tomatoes and sweet red onions. We used cherry tomatoes. Cut the tomatoes into large wedges and slice the onion into thin half-rings—it's bright and delicious.

Peel the sweet red pepper and then chop it into cubes or strips. You can use either red or yellow peppers; color doesn't affect the flavor, as long as they're fresh and flavorful.

Cut a fragrant fresh cucumber into large cubes. If you're making a summer cucumber salad, check the peel for bitterness. If it is, remove it.

Combine fresh vegetables in a bowl and mix them with the meat. Drizzle generously with olive oil and squeeze lemon juice over the ingredients. Season the salad to taste and add ground black pepper.

season the salad with oil and lemon juice

Let the salad sit in the refrigerator for 15-20 minutes. This will allow all the ingredients to infuse with flavors and juices, and will also bring the salad to a uniform temperature, which will improve the flavor. Serve the finished dish. Enjoy!
