There are almost as many versions of this delicious cold meat as there are cooks in Ireland.

 Method: Thoroughly mix dry ingredients; blend in molasses. Place beef in a bowl; coat on all sides with spice mixture. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 7 days, rubbing spice mixture into meat once or twice every day.

 Put meat in pot. Add Guiness and water to cover. Cover pan; simmer about 3 hours till tender but not falling apart. Remove from heat, uncover, and let cool in stock. Lift meat from liquid; wrap in plastic or foil. Set on platter, with weight on top of meat.
Refrigerate overnight, until very cold. Slice very thin.
