Spiced Beef
1 x 500ml can cider or stout (optional)
Method:
Calculate the cooking time: 20 mins per lb and 20 minutes over.
Put the beef in a large saucepan and add enough cold water to cover the beef, add stout or cider if using.
Bring to the boil, reduce the heat immediately so that it simmers gently. Start timing it now. It is important not to boil the beef, so keep it barely bubbling.
Simmer for 20 minutes a lb and 20 minutes over.
Allow to cool in the water. Remove from the water and slice as thinly as possible to serve.
Serving ideas:
Spiced beef makes delicious sandwiches, I like mine with cranberry sauce!
For a starter: slice thinly and serve with soured cream flavoured with chives, a little garlic, orange zest and pepper to taste.
For finger food: Slice thinly and serve on brown bread (like you would smoked salmon) with soured cream, horseradish, or chutney.
Thanks for the cook tips! Nice recipe. I made it. It was tasty.
