Method

  • Pour 7 pints of cold water into a large plastic or ceramic container, big enough to hold the joint of beef and the water to cover. Place the potato into the water and add salt stirring to disolve. Keep adding salt until the potato floats to the top. Take out the potato and put the beef joint into the brine,you will need to put something on top of it to hold it under the brine. Leave for 10 days, turning on the 5th day. On the 10th day, remove from the brine, wash and soak in clean cold water for 3 to 4 hours. Place in a pan filled with water, bring to the boil and then simmer for 3 and 1/2 hours. Leave to cool. Store in fridge and serve cold. Very simple recipe but delicious. Handed down from my great great grandmother.
