carrots (peeled)

pickles (chopped)

peas

mayonnaise

mustard

salt (or

½ teaspoon pepper (or

Cook the beef:

Add the beef to a pot of boiling water and cook it for about 2 hours. You can also use an Instant Pot to cook it faster. If using an Instant pot cook it on high pressure for 1 hour. Transfer the meat to a bowl and let it cool before chopping.

Cook the potatoes and carrots:

Add the potatoes and carrots to a large pot and cover with water. Season with a teaspoon of salt. Bring the water to a boil and cook the potatoes and carrots until they are fork tender, should take about 15 minutes. Drain and cool slightly.

Prep the veggies and meat:

Chop the meat, potatoes, carrots and pickles; they should all be small pieces about ¼ inch by ¼ inch. Drain all the liquid from the diced pickles and the peas. I usually place them in a paper towel lined bowl to soak up all the extra liquid.

Make the salad:

Add all the veggies and meat to a big bowl, then add the mayo and mustard, season with salt and pepper and mix everything together.

Serve:

The salad is often decorated to make it more visually appealing and festive. The decoration typically involves arranging colorful vegetables, herbs, and other garnishes on top of the salad in an attractive and creative way. For simplicity, I simply smoothed out the top and topped it more mayonnaise. Now, serve the salad immediately or put it in the fridge to stay cold.
