Men's Caprice Salad with Beef

Directions

1. 1

   Step 1

   

   Peel the onion. Prepare a culinary ring and two pots.

2. 2

   Step 2

   

   Place the meat in a pot, cover with water, and bring to a boil. Skim the foam and ensure the heat is low. Add the bay leaf and peppercorns to the broth. Cook for about 1.5 hours. Once done, let the meat cool.

   TipThe exact cooking time depends on the size of the piece. To cook the beef faster, cut the meat into several smaller pieces. Let it cool in the broth — this will keep the beef juicy. Don't discard the broth after cooking; save it for making soups and sauces.

   Slice the onions into half-rings. Sprinkle with sugar and pour over the vinegar. Mix and let marinate for 15 minutes.

   TipIf you decide to replace the onion with Yalta or red onion, omit the sugar from the marinade, as these varieties are sweeter.
