Classic Ministerial salad

For a festive table, original, from ordinary products! The Ministerial salad got its name from the fact that it was served in Soviet canteens at ministries. Then it was considered an elite dish. I suggest you try its classic version — with beef and egg pancakes.

Step-by-step cooking

Cooking time: 25 min

Step 1:
How to make a classic Ministerial salad? Prepare the specified ingredients. Pre-boil the beef meat. It should be soft, not stringy. Instead of beef, you can take boiled veal. Choose any mayonnaise, it will be tastier and healthier at home.
Step 2:
How to cook beef? Boil water in a saucepan, add salt to it. Dip a piece of beef into boiling water. Cook the meat at a low boil over low heat, removing the foam if necessary. The cooking time depends on the quality of the meat and from which part of the carcass the piece is taken. Mine boiled for about an hour. Check readiness with a sharp knife — it should freely pierce the piece. Remove the meat from the broth and cool. Then cut it into strips or tear it into fibers. Put it in a bowl.
Step 3:
Break the eggs into a bowl, add salt, beat them lightly with a fork. Preheat a frying pan over low heat, pour in quite a bit of vegetable oil. Pour out half of the egg mixture, distributing it evenly along the bottom, according to the type of pancake (I have a diameter of 24 cm). Fry the pancake for a few minutes so that there are no liquid places left on it. Remove the finished pancake from the pan. Similarly, fry the second one. Try to make them very thin.
Step 4:
Cool the egg pancakes. Roll them into a tube and cut them into strips. You will get long strips of egg pancakes. Add them to the salad bowl to the meat.
Step 5:
Cut the pickled cucumbers into strips and add to the salad. Cucumbers for salad choose crispy, not watery, delicious and fragrant.
Step 6:
Peel the onion and cut it into half rings. Heat the vegetable oil in a frying pan, fry the onion on it over low heat. Do not fry it until it is ready, let it remain slightly crispy. Cool the onion and add it to the salad.
Step 7:
Add mayonnaise to the salad and mix. Try it with salt, salt and pepper to taste. I don't salt salads with mayonnaise, I have enough salt in the sauce.
Step 8:
Cool the salad slightly before serving. You can serve this salad both in a large salad bowl and in portions.

There is information that the salad "Ministerial" was first announced as an elite dish back in the 50s of the last century. It was then that this dish appeared on the menu in Soviet canteens at ministries and restaurants. Most often it was prepared according to the recipe that I suggest. But there are other interpretations of this salad that began to appear in the 70s .
There are variants of this salad with mushrooms, salmon, liver, corn, chicken, etc.

The salad will look nice and neat if you cut all the ingredients into pieces of the same size and shape (for example, cubes).

Be sure to wash the eggs before use, as even the seemingly clean shell may contain harmful bacteria. It is best to use food detergents and a brush.

It is better to prepare mayonnaise yourself. It will be tastier and healthier. See here interesting recipes for homemade mayonnaise.
Also, as a dressing, you can use not only mayonnaise, but also sour cream or natural yogurt. They can be taken separately or mixed with mayonnaise in any proportion to your taste - this will reduce the calorie content of the dish.
