Ingredients

• 400 grams Beef (sirloin or chuck)
• 2 medium Carrots
• 3 medium Potatoes
• 150 grams Pickles
• 150 grams Peas (canned or cooked)
• 3 large Eggs
• 200 grams Mayonnaise
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Place the beef in a pot of water, add a pinch of salt, and boil over medium heat for about 35–40 minutes or until tender. Once cooked, remove from water and let it cool completely before cutting it into small cubes.

Step 2

While the beef is cooking, wash and boil the carrots and potatoes in a separate pot until fork-tender (about 20 minutes). Cool completely, peel, and dice them into small cubes.

Step 3

Hard boil the eggs by placing them in a pot with water, bringing it to a boil, and then cooking for 10 minutes. Cool in cold water, peel, and chop finely.

Step 4

Dice the pickles into small cubes and set aside.

Step 5

If using canned peas, ensure they are drained well. If using fresh peas, blanch them in boiling water for 2–3 minutes and cool immediately in ice water to preserve their color.

Step 6

In a large mixing bowl, combine the diced beef, carrots, potatoes, pickles, peas, and chopped eggs.

Step 7

Add the mayonnaise, salt, and black pepper to the bowl, and gently mix all the ingredients until evenly coated and combined. Taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary.

Step 8

Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or transfer the salad to an airtight container. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving to allow the flavors to blend.

Step 9

Serve chilled as a side dish or a light meal. Enjoy!
