6 6 lbs sirloin tip steaks or 6 lbs beef eye round

1 teaspoon ground mace
6 ground cloves
1 teaspoon crushed black peppercorns
1 clove garlic, made into a paste with salt

Mix all spices and flavorings together.
Place beef in a large dish and rub well all over mixture.
Refrigerate in a covered bowl.
Repeat this process every day for a week, turning the meat and rubbing in the spices, which will now be mixed with the juices drawn from the meat.
Tie the meat up firmly and rub a final teaspoon of ground cloves.
Cover with water and simmer slowly for 6 hours.
When cool enough to handle remove from the cooking liquid, place in a dish and cover with a weighted plate.
Slice very thinly and serve.
