Spiced beef
Spiced beef is a cured and salted joint of rump or silverside beef, which is traditionally served at Christmas or the New Year in Ireland, especially County Cork. It is a form of salt beef, cured with spices and saltpetre, and is usually boiled, broiled or semi-steamed in water, Guinness, and then optionally roasted for a period after.
It is somewhat similar to Pastrami.
Varieties of spices used include pimento, cinnamon, ground cloves, ginger and black pepper.
