If the beef is already salted, go to Step 3 in the recipe here:

I bought a joint of salt beef a couple of years ago from a very old, traditional butcher (he is in his eighties). His advice was to boil it for a few hours, then let it cool in the cooking water, in the pan over night (I know it screams of germs and bacteria etc.!) I trusted the old bloke though - and it was delicious! Try this at your own risk!
