- A pinch of cayenne pepper

- Prepare the Beef: Place the salt beef in a saucepan of water and simmer gently for 1-2 hours until tender. Once cooked, remove from the water and allow to cool.
- Shred the Beef: Shred the salt beef using a fork or your fingers or chop into small dice. Discard any excess fat.
- Combine Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded beef with softened butter, Worcestershire sauce, black pepper, cayenne pepper, gherkins and chopped parsley. If using brandy or sherry, add it in at this stage.
- Pack and Chill: Pack the mixture into a jar or small bowl, pressing it down firmly to remove any air pockets. Cover with cling film and refrigerate for at least a few hours before serving. This potted salt beef is a rich, indulgent treat perfect for spreading on toast or serving with your favourite pickles.
