  1. Step 1:

    Step 1

    How do you make Men's Dreams Salad with beef? Get the listed ingredients ready. Boil or roast the beef ahead of time for 1 hour, then cool it. Boil the eggs in boiling salted water for about 12 to 15 minutes, cool them too, peel, and rinse.

  2. Step 2:

    Step 2

    Peel the onion, rinse it, and cut it into half-rings or medium cubes. Put it in a deep bowl, cover with apple cider vinegar, and leave for 15 to 20 minutes. In that time the vinegar draws all the harshness out of the onion, giving it an apple flavor and aroma. If you don't have apple cider vinegar, use distilled vinegar diluted in cold water.

  3. Step 3:

    Step 3

    Shred the cooled boiled or roasted beef into strands with your hands, or cut it into sticks. Put it in a deep bowl.

  4. Step 4:

    Step 4

    Add 1/2 tablespoon of mayonnaise and mix. You could also coat the meat with mayonnaise as you layer it into the mold, but mixing it in a separate bowl with the dressing makes it juicier and lets it soak it up.

  5. Step 5:

    Step 5

    Grate the hard cheese on the fine side. Don't mix the cheese with mayonnaise — it will be the top layer of the dish.

  6. Step 6:

    Step 6

    Set a ring mold on a plate. Drain the vinegar off the onion and mix the onion with 1/2 tablespoon of mayonnaise. Spread it into the mold. Layer the beef on top of the onion.

  7. Step 7:

    Step 7

    Grate the eggs on the fine side into a deep bowl and mix with 1 tablespoon of mayonnaise. If you like, add chopped dill or parsley, washed and patted dry with paper towels first.

  8. Step 8:

    Step 8

    Spread the egg mixture into the mold over the beef layer, almost to the top.

  9. Step 9:

    Step 9

    The last layer is grated cheese. Spread it carefully, without spilling it past the mold, pressing it down lightly with a spoon. Gently lift off the mold.

  10. Step 10:

    Step 10

    Garnish the finished dish with herbs and serve right after assembling. If you're serving it for a holiday, keep all the ingredients in the fridge in separate containers and assemble the salad just before serving.

  • Men's Dreams salad with beef comes out tasty and juicy, without any sharp onion bite. It'll be the centerpiece of a holiday table — just assemble it right before guests arrive so it holds its shape when served. If you like, add a layer of grated apple flesh between the onion and meat layers — it adds a little something to the salad's flavor.
  • It's better to make mayonnaise yourself — tastier and healthier. See the interesting homemade mayonnaise recipes here. You can also use not just mayonnaise as a dressing, but sour cream or plain yogurt — on their own or mixed with mayonnaise in any proportion you like; that cuts the dish's calories.
  • Always wash eggs before using them, since even a seemingly clean shell can carry harmful bacteria. It's best to use a food-safe wash and a brush.
