This beef salad has an exciting mixture of bitter, savory and sweet flavors. In addition to the meat, fresh asparagus, radicchio, beans, red onion slices, plums and grapes are all part of the mix. The whole thing is refined with a marinade of currant juice, apple cider vinegar, rosemary and pumpkin seed oil.
Especially the plums and grapes harmonize unexpectedly well with the currant juice and apple cider vinegar and the beef. - Let yourself be surprised!
Instructions
For the preparation of the beef
In the recipe below, the beef is previously cooked in soup until it is soft. In principle, you can use any leftover beef, especially boiled beef or soup meat. But you can also use, for example, roast beef. That's a bit different in taste, but also very tasty with the salad.
Vegetables
Especially the mixture of spicy onion, green asparagus, bitter radicchio and sweet grapes and plums makes the salad very refreshing and summery in my opinion. If that's too many different flavors at a time for you, you just let go of one or the other!
Beware, the beans have to soak overnight or at least a few hours and then need about another 60 minutes of cooking time. (Unless you use canned beans, of course)

- Remove beef from the soup and allow to cool.
- Remove the soup vegetables, the soup can be portioned and used for other dishes. (I usually freeze some of it for later use)
- The beef can also be cooked 1-2 days ahead. For storage overnight, remove from the soup and pack in plastic wrap.
Preparation of the salad
- Cut the cooled beef into thin slices, with a sharp knife against the fiber.

- Steam the asparagus over salted water for about 20-30 minutes. (Or boil directly in water for 5 minutes)
- Cut the radicchio into small pieces, cut the plums into thin slices. Cut the onion into thin rings.
- For the marinade, mix the currant juice with apple cider vinegar, rosemary, salt and some freshly ground pepper. It can also be mixed with a few spoons of the beef soup.
