Cut steak into six pieces (I buy minute steaks).
Pound with meat hammer.
Combine rice and raisins; divide between each steak.
Place near center of each steak, roll up, tuck in ends; fasten with tooth picks.
Brown in shortening in skillet.
Pour off fat.
Add remaining ingredients, except ginger snaps.
Cover, simmer 1 1/4 hours or until tender. Remove cloves and bay leaf.
Add ginger snaps, cook gently 15 minutes more.
Serve over mashed potatoes.
