Beef with apples salad

Layered Beef and Apple Salad

A hearty salad of boiled beef and apples with egg and cheese. Boil and cool the beef ahead of time — it needs about two hours of cooking. I used bone-in beef, which is a great value: you get broth for borscht and meat for the salad. The apples should be firm and mild — not too sweet, not too tart, without a strong flavor or aroma. A Lobo-type apple works well here. The salad comes out delicious.

Cooking method

Cooking time: 20 min

Step 1:

Gather the ingredients from the list. Boil the beef in advance, and boil the eggs too. Winter apple varieties work best.
Step 2:

Cut the boiled beef into small pieces.
Step 3:

Peel the apples and hard-boiled eggs.
Step 4:

Since the salad is built in layers, use a ring mold. Set the ring on a flat plate.
Step 5:

Cut the apples into sticks or julienne strips — a julienne grater makes this easiest.
Step 6:

Spread one apple's worth as the first layer.
Step 7:

Spread mayonnaise over the apple layer.
Step 8:

Spread the chopped beef over the apple layer.
Step 9:

Spread mayonnaise over the meat layer.
Step 10:

Add the second apple, cut into strips, over the meat layer.
Step 11:

Spread on more mayonnaise.
Step 12:

Now grate the hard-boiled eggs on the coarse side of a grater.
Step 13:

Add the grated egg as the fourth layer.
Step 14:

Cover the egg layer with the remaining mayonnaise.
Step 15:

Finely chop the cilantro and basil.
Step 16:

Sprinkle the chopped herbs over the egg layer.
Step 17:

Grate the hard cheese on the coarse side of a grater.
Step 18:

Spread the grated cheese over the herbs as the final layer.
Step 19:

Now remove the ring mold — unclasp it so you don't disturb the layers.
Step 20:

The finishing touch: slice the pickles into rounds to garnish.
Step 21:

Arrange the pickle rounds on top of the salad along with a few sprigs of fresh herbs. The beef and apple salad is ready to serve.
