How to Cook Ground Beef (How to Brown Ground Beef)
Report
Crispy and juicy ground beef every time using our technique for browning ground beef.
Share:
Ingredients
- 1 pound 80/20 ground beef
- 1-2 teaspoons vegetable oil , optional
Instructions
- Allow the meat to sit at room temperature for about 20-30 minutes. If there is any surface moisture, blot with a paper towel.
- Heat a large cast iron skillet or stainless steel pan over medium-high heat. If using stainless or a less seasoned cast iron, add 1 teaspoon of a neutral oil with high smoke point.
- Once the pan is hot, add the meat, and allow the brick to sit there for 4-5 minutes or until the edges are browned and crispy when you lift it up to take a peek. Do not move or touch it.
- Flip it and do the same on the other side. Break it into 4 pieces and start to crumble, allowing each crumble to get maximum contact with the hot pan.
- When beef is fully browned, add seasoning or salt, and add to your favorite recipe.
- If you've tried this technique, please come back to let us know how it was in the comments or ratings!
