  2             pounds  beef brisket
  2                     carrots
  1                     cucumber
  2                     eggs -- hard boiled
  4        tablespoons  soy sauce
  1         tablespoon  rice or cider vinegar
  1              clove  garlic -- finely chopped
  2                     spring onions -- finely chopped
  2          teaspoons  toasted sesame seeds
                        freshly ground black pepper

Preparation:

Bring a large pot of water to a vigorous boil, then add the piece of brisket. Allow to boil for 2-3 minutes to seal, then reduce the heat to a bare simmer. Cook until tender, about 1 to 1 1/2 hours. Reserve the beef broth for other soup or noodle dishes. Wrap the meat in a piece of cheesecloth or muslin, place in a flat dish with a plate or board over it, and cover with a heavy weight to press. Leave until cool, then transfer to a refrigerator until the meat is firm (2-3 hours or overnight). Slice the carrots and the cucumber on the diagonal. Slice the hard-boiled eggs. When ready to serve, trim the brisket of excess fat and gristle, then cut into thin slices. Arrange in overlapping slices on a platter, together with the carrots, cucumber, and eggs. Mix together the soy sauce, vinegar, garlic, spring onions, sesame seeds, and black pepper. Pour this sauce over the meat and vegetables.
