Easy 5 Ingredients ground beef recipes
Last Updated on
Corn-fed beef is a staple of many families’ food budgets. It’s cheap and tasty, and almost everyone likes it. So let’s make dinner even easier with a five-ingredient ground beef recipe! Reducing the number of ingredients in a recipe is the easiest way to make it quicker.
If you’re making ground beef at home because of food safety concerns, try to find an organic, locally raised beef source. You can also grind your own beef using a round scrap, a towel, and top and bottom cuts.
I prefer to buy butchers (89 to 90 percent lean): this type has a lot of flavor but is still tender, not too much fat.
There are some rules for processing beef from the woods.
First, make sure that all surfaces, utensils, plates and containers that come into contact with the raw animal are washed carefully and thoroughly. And that includes your hands! If you wash your hands in warm soapy water while quietly singing “Happy Birthday”, you’ve had enough hand rest. This time is needed to kill the bacteria left on your hands from the raw flesh. Secondly, don’t have too much meat on hand. If you’ve ever eaten a really dense and tough hamburger, that beef has been worked too much, squeezing the fibers and squeezing the water and juices out of the meat. Finally, eat every bit of meat properly cooked or at 160 F on an instant-read food thermometer. You can’t tell if beef is done or not by color or texture; a thermometer is the only way to be sure your food is safe.
