Hearty Tashkent Beef and Radish Salad

Tashkent salad is a hearty and simple Soviet dish. Tashkent salad with radish and beef is not named after the name of the city, as everyone initially thinks, but after the restaurant where this recipe originated. The salad is simple, but not very common, so it attracts gourmets with its unconventional taste. The taste of the salad is distinguished by the sweetness and spiciness of the green radish, the fried onions add softness, and overall the salad is quite filling, but not heavy. This ensures the balance of the ingredients used in it.
