 * Cook Time: 10 hours

Ingredients

 * 1 flank or London Broil steak (or other very lean cut of meat)
 * salt and pepper
 * 1 cup soy sauce
 * aluminum foil

Directions

 * 1) Preheat the oven to 150 °F.
 * 2) Cut the steak into strips with the grain of the meat. It is very important to cut along the grain or the cooked meat will fall apart into small pieces!
 * 3) Pour the soy sauce into a bowl and dip the meat strips in it. Lay the strips out on a piece of foil and sprinkle generously with salt and pepper on both sides. Place the strips on a metal rack in the oven with foil below to catch the drippings for 10 hours.
