Salată De Boeuf | FoodieAtlas

Ingredients

1 pound beef stew meat or beef tenderloin
4 medium potatoes, peeled and diced
3 medium carrots, peeled and diced
1 cup peas (fresh or frozen)
1/2 cup pickles, diced (e.g., gherkins or dill pickles)
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1/2 cup sour cream
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
Salt and black pepper, to taste
Fresh parsley or dill, chopped, for garnish (optional)

Instructions

Prepare the Beef

In a large pot, bring water to a boil and add a pinch of salt. Add the beef and cook for about 1-1.5 hours, or until tender. Remove the beef, let it cool, and then dice it into small cubes.

Cook the Vegetables

In the same pot of boiling water, add the diced potatoes and carrots. Cook until tender, about 10-15 minutes. Add the peas in the last 5 minutes of cooking.

Drain the vegetables and let them cool.

Prepare the Salad

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

In a separate bowl, mix together the mayonnaise, sour cream, and Dijon mustard. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.

Gently fold the dressing into the beef and vegetable mixture until everything is well coated.

Serve

Transfer the salad to a serving dish and smooth the top with a spatula.

Garnish with chopped fresh parsley or dill if desired.

Chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
