  4      tb            Fresh lime juice
  4      tb            Nam pla (fish sauce)

                       Marinade:
                       Stock (above) -- plus:
  4      ts            Pepper
  1      ts            Cayenne pepper (optional)
  4      ts            Liquid smoke
    1/2  c             Soy sauce

* You might want to add come basil leaves or cilantro sprigs here.

Trim all fat off the meat and cut against the grain into 1/4" thick
strips. Meat is easier to cut when partially frozen and it will cut
evenly.

In a saucepan, combine beef stock, lime juice, fish sauce, sugar;
bring to a boil over high heat. Add mint, shallots, scallions, and
chiles. Cool and strain.

Mix the stock and the other ingredients together in a bowl. Add the
meat and cover. Marinade overnight. Or put meat and marinade in a
sealable plastic bag. Either way turn the meat occasionally to ensure
that all portions get well soaked in the marinade.

Remove from marinade and let dry on a rack. Line a cookie sheet with
foil and arrange meat on it in a single layer. Or place meat directly
on oven racks, line bottom of oven with foil. Or on rack in shallow
pan. Dry for 6 or more hours at 175°F, turning after 3 hours.
Continue to dry in warm oven if necessary. Gas ovens with pilot
lights work especially well. Cool and bag it.
