I just want to be better , but not perfect--Quick Beef Jerky(Fruit and Ginger Flavor)[Assignment]

Sometimes, you have to spend a lot of time to figure out a problem, but some other people are just able to have it done much quickly. It is definitely frustrating. But it looks like I am not as upset as I was when it happens, it's not I don't want to fight any more, but I get to realize I am not perfect, so I think I just want to be better, which already can make me cheerful.

So, now when I hear the complements like ' you are doing (MUCH) better...', I will smile and  know I can still grow, to be the 'perfect' gaogao in your imagination.

This is a quick beef jerky, by using deli rost beef. Usually, I make beef jerky from beef shoulder chuck, boil it first, then cut into the cube or sliced it whatever you want. Boil /marinade  it  in the teriyaki or spicy sauce. Bake them to the texture you want.

Trader joe's deli roast beef is a good deal but very bland, well, it is not a very thin , but thin enough for beef jerky. And it turns out very alike the real beef jerky in stores.

Remember the beef skewers in some bar with some secrete sweet flavor, I thought about it afterwards and got to know marinad is made from fruit juice/preserve(apricot, or pear) as well as ginger. So I call this as an [Assignment] , since I wanted to make it come true here.

1. Saute onion and garlic

2. Add a kind of juice( I used the leftover apple cider reductions), julienne ginger, soy sauce/teriyaki sauce, aslso some red wine if you like
