  • Start with the meat. Rinse a piece of beef (a tender cut like sirloin works best) and pat it dry with paper towels, then trim away any membrane and sinew. Put the meat in a small pot and cover with cold water. Set it over medium heat and wait for the foam to rise to the surface. Skim it off, salt the water, and toss in the bay leaf and peppercorns. Lower the heat to its minimum and simmer the beef until fully cooked and tender. Cool the meat and cut it into thin strips. Drain the liquid from the canned beans, rinse them under running water, and tip them into a colander to drain. Rinse the bell pepper and wipe it dry with a paper towel. Cut out the stem and inner seeds and slice the flesh into strips. Peel a red onion (best for this salad), rinse it, and cut it into half-moons. Rinse the cilantro and dry it on a towel, then chop it finely. In a large salad bowl, combine the cooked beef, bell pepper, onion, beans, and herbs. Peel the garlic and crush it through a press or grate it on a fine grater. Add the garlic, ground black pepper, and dry khmeli-suneli seasoning to the salad and stir well. Taste and add salt if needed. Make the dressing separately: in a small bowl, mix the sunflower oil (refined and odorless works best) with the white wine vinegar. Stir the dressing and pour it over the salad, then toss everything again. For deeper flavor, refrigerate the salad for about 20–30 minutes. Then portion it onto plates and dig in. Enjoy!
