Step-by-step recipe for "Man's Caprice" salad

I got to know this dish thanks to one of my former classmates. Every weekend, a friend's house is filled with friends who sing songs with a guitar, watch sports programs, and on holidays they can pamper themselves with a glass or two of vodka or brandy. As my friend explained to me, "Man's Caprice" is the favorite snack of their company, so no solemn event takes place without this dish.

300 g of boiled beef;
4 eggs;
1 head of blue onion;
50 ml of apple cider vinegar;
150 g of hard cheese;
mayonnaise - to taste;
salt and black pepper to taste.
