Irish Spiced Beef

Directions

NOTE: prepare 7 days in advance of eating!

Wipe meat over with a damp cloth.

Mix seasoning ingredients together except for carrots, onions and fresh herbs.

Rub seasoning well into meat; then lay mean on bed of seasoning.

Leave in a cool place (preferably not refrigerated, though).

Repeat rubbing each day.

On the seventh day, put the meat into a saucepan and cover with cold water.

Bring to boiling point and simmer gently for 5 hours, when it should be tender.

Put cooked meat on a flat dish and cover with a board.

Set weight on top of board until meat is cold, when it is ready to carve and eat.
