This also means you can spend more quality time catching up with your family and friends. For instance, you might need to make a trip to the nearest grocery store, but at least you won’t have to worry about rushing back home after work just to grab your dinner from the fridge! The recipe itself is easy to follow, but you’ll need to have a few tools on hand. Fortunately, this burger comes together in about half the time of a regular ol’ burger. The recipe can be doubled up to feed a hungry family of four, so you’ll have plenty of leftovers for lunch the next day!
Tender Ground Beef
Most people automatically think of hamburgers and meatballs when they hear ground beef, but there are so many other uses for this versatile protein. This easy-to-prepare meat is perfect for sloppy joes, tacos, casseroles, and more.
One of the key ingredients to tender ground beef is cooking it slowly. This ensures that you can break up any clumps as they form and avoid overcooking the meat.
Another important factor that can make the difference between chewy and tender ground beef is the ratio of fat to protein. This is what determines the texture of the finished product.
A good quality, lean ground beef will be about 80 percent protein and 20 percent fat. This cuts the cost significantly and delivers plenty of flavor, making it ideal for burgers or other recipes.
It is also a good idea to choose meat that has a high amount of moisture. Dry ground beef is hard to break up and will result in tough burgers.
If you are buying frozen ground beef, be sure to check the label to make sure it is free of ice crystals. These ice crystals can dehydrate the meat, breaking down the cell walls and causing it to become dry.
To prevent this from happening, add a small amount of grease or bacon fat to the pan as you cook the meat. This will help keep it moist and give it a more flavorful texture.
Finally, be careful to drain the excess fat before serving the burgers. This will help them stay moist and juicy throughout the meal.
This recipe uses raw, unbrowned ground beef, which has a more tender, silky texture than browned beef. It is often used in burgers and other dishes that are served with a sauce or gravy.
In addition to the amount of fat and protein, you should also be aware of how long the beef was cooked. If it has been overcooked, then the meat will have a more chewy texture and will be less tender.
To be on the safe side, always cook ground beef to 160 degrees Fahrenheit, as this is the maximum temperature recommended by the USDA. This will destroy any bacteria within the meat and ensure that it is safe for consumption.
