Beef Salad

Take some lean cold boiled beef (the rump is preferable), remove all the fat and cut into pieces an inch and a half in length as thinly as possible. Put the pieces in a bowl, season with salt and pepper and two cooked and sliced potatoes, a little parsley, two tablespoonfuls of vinegar and some sweet oil. Compound well and arrange in a salad bowl, garnish with some pickles or beets, and serve.
