Step-by-step cooking
Step 1:
Wash the beef pulp and boil in salted water until tender. Cut into thin strips about a centimeter wide.
Step 2:
Peel the onion and chop it into thin half rings. Since the onion is fresh in the salad, if desired, it (already chopped) can be poured with boiling water and left for five minutes so that the bitterness and strong sharpness go away. Then discard in a colander, drain the water and the onion can be added to the salad.
Step 3:
Wash cucumbers and chop into strips. You can pre-peel cucumbers from the skin. For winter long-fruited cucumbers, this is very relevant, but for summer, I think it is superfluous.
Step 4:
Add olive oil, wine vinegar and lemon juice to the sauce pan. It is better to squeeze lemon juice through a strainer so that the pulp and bones do not get into the sauce. Stir the sauce.
Step 5:
Sort the cilantro, remove the hard stems. Wash the greens and shake from the water. Finely chop.
Step 6:
Put beef, cucumber and cilantro in a salad bowl. Add salt and pour over the prepared sauce. Mix it up. Top the salad with sesame seeds and coriander greens. Serve to the table immediately after cooking.
I want to note the moment that this salad will be good even with winter long-fruited cucumbers. Thanks to the piquant dressing (refueling), no one will notice that long-fruited cucumbers are significantly inferior in taste to summer ones.
Prepare the salad immediately before serving, as cilantro is a very tender green and quickly loses its fresh appearance.
In general, cilantro can be replaced with parsley or dill if desired. This is a more familiar taste of greens and certainly more resistant.
If there was no red onion at hand, then feel free to use the usual white one.
I really liked the salad. Hearty meat and light cucumber are perfectly combined with a sour-spicy dressing. Cilantro and sesame seeds bring an unusual and interesting note.
This salad will perfectly play the role of a snack in the afternoon or may even act as a light dinner.
Bon appetit!
