method
1. Rub the meat with the sugar and place in a large, glazed pan or pot, not aluminium, in which the meat can lie flat.
2. Cover with a cloth and leave in a cool place for 2 days. Crush together the sea salt and all the spices (except the bay leaves) in a blender or with a mortar and pestle, then add the bay leaves.
3. Rub into the meat and leave in a cool place. Turn and baste the beef every 2 days for 12 days.
4. Take the meat from the pan and wipe clean. Place in a baking pan and add the hot water.
5. Cover with layers of foil or put on a lid. Bake in the oven for 6 hours in a Pre-Heated oven Gas Mark 1, 250°F (130°C ) then remove. When cool, wrap the beef in greaseproof paper and let it stand for 12 hours.
6. Keep it in a cool place at all times. Slice thinly across the grain to serve.
