Pour 1 liter of water into a pot and season with salt, black pepper, and bay leaves.

Bring the water to a boil, then add 500 grams of beef and boil for about 20 minutes until cooked.

Remove the beef from the pot and let it cool before chopping into 5 millimeter cubes.

In a large pot, add 150 grams of diced carrots, 150 grams of diced parsnip, 150 grams of frozen peas, and 500 grams of diced potatoes.

Cover the vegetables with water, bring to a boil, and cook for about 10 minutes until soft.

Strain the vegetables and let them cool down.

In a mixing bowl, combine the chopped beef, cooled vegetables, 150 grams of diced celery, 150 grams of diced dill pickles, 150 grams of diced pickled peppers, and a handful of chopped parsley.

Season the mixture with salt and pepper.

To make the mayonnaise, add 2 egg yolks, 15 mls of yellow mustard, the juice of half a lemon, and salt into a jar.

Pour in 100 mls of cooking oil and use a stick blender to blend until emulsified.

Add the mayonnaise to the salad mixture and mix until just coated.

Grease a mold with oil and fill it with the salad mixture, then cover with plastic wrap.

Refrigerate for a few hours to set.
