Cut the steak into thin strips. Dip each piece in salt, flour, pepper and ground cloves, stirred together. Put a small piece of fat in the center of each strip of meat. Roll up and place in a deep baking dish or casserole. Half fill the dish with water. Cover closely and bake in a slow oven at 300°F for about an hour. Remove the cover.

**A few, small pieces of kidney or oysters or mushrooms may be cooked with the meat to give variety in flavor.
