Also, the onions would express water, which would lower the temperature to simmer or steam, preventing the beef from browning. For these reasons, it is common to sear or brown the ground (minced) meat, and then add the onions to cook through when it is done or nearly done. You certainly could cook the onions separately, either in the same pan ...
Put tinfoil on a pan. Put all of the ground beef on it. Put it in the oven preheated to 450F for 30 minutes. Is this safe? Any remaining questions: Why should it be covered? When is it necessary to cover food with aluminum foil during baking/roasting? Is there a problem with letting it cook in the fat? baking.
1 Answer. Sorted by: 5. To help get uniformly broken up ground beef: Choose an at least moderately fatty (say 80-85%) grind, as very lean ground beef will tend to stick to itself more. Don't compress it when you are bringing it home, as by setting other groceries on top. Don't salt the meat before cooking, as salt tends to help it bind to itself.
Just season it with salt and it should taste reasonable. (Sorry if that's what you meant by directly eating.) – kitukwfyer.

5. During cooking, heat, amongst causing other things like the Maillard Reaction, denatures (changes the structure of) proteins in meat. Acid is also a denaturant, and so affects the proteins in the same way. However, a mild acid like lemon juice isn't strong enough to kill bacteria, and it of course only affects the parts of the meat it can ...
1. The USDA recommends four months. It won't be unsafe after that time per se, but it will very likely be freezer burned, giving it a weird and unpleasant texture. Eventually it will go 'properly' bad - I don't think I'd risk food poisoning over a few bucks worth of ground beef. Throw it out and buy fresh.
Exactly. Just for the sake of doing it once or twice, I was going to cook exactly a pound of 85% ground beef. take all the liquid, and let the fat solidify, same as I would to de-fat chicken stock. If I measured the weight of the fat pulled off, it would avoid the potential of measuring water. –
This is the article that lead to his thoughts on browning ground beef that you cited.. . . On re-reading your question, I wonder if you are implying that you are using ground meat. Since you said stew, I was assuming the meat was not ground. If you are using ground meat, as in chili, which is essentially a ground beef and chili stew, you still ...
I left two bags of groceries in the car overnight. A beef shoulder roast, a pork loin, pack of ground beef and some smoked sausage. They were cold to the touch. That was our food for the week. Not sure what I should do. The rule of thumb (and of the USDA) is: after two hours in the "danger zone" - temperatures between 5-60c/40-140f - the food ...
Don't salt until it is browned. Stir it early and often, breaking up clumps with your spoon (this goal is in tension with getting a nice browning) Don't use added binders like egg or bread. Add a comment. Add a few drops of lemon juice in the mince before cooking and it will not clump. answered Sep 20, 2015 at 6:50.
