Cooking Essentials
The Technique
Ground Beef
Ground beef has long been a family meal favorite. It pairs well with both tomato-based & cream sauces to produce rich & satisfying dinners. When purchasing beef, it’s generally priced according to the percentage of fat that has been used to prepare that particular batch. A package marked 80% will have more while 93% will have less therefore the final yield of a pound may vary slightly after browning with the latter resulting in just a bit more. Most recipes are forgiving as it’s generally added to sauces & paired with other filling foods. Use your personal preference as a guide when choosing it for your family. Brush up on a few pointers to cook ground beef for a host of recipes.

How To Cook Ground Beef For Recipe Applications
Ground beef may be used in a variety of quality family meals from Spicy Baked Ziti, Classic Bolognese & lasagna. The essential step required when preparing it for these applications is browning the beef. Make sure you’re on task with these tips.
The Technique
A few pieces of equipment will be needed in order to complete the task. Read through the recipe before beginning. Here’s what you should know.
No. 1
Crumble the beef in a large skillet, sauté pan or Dutch oven. Season the beef with a smattering of kosher salt & freshly ground pepper.
No. 2
Cook the meat over Medium-High heat until no longer pink, about 8 minutes. Stir the beef all around the skillet using a wooden spoon during the process. Pour the beef into a colander over a stainless steel bowl or pan. Tousle the cooked beef with a spoon to be certain as much of the grease drains as possible. Use as directed in specific recipe applications.
After approximately 20 minutes, the grease may be discarded in a receptacle. Never pour it down the kitchen sink as it will build up over time & create plumbing issues.
