Instructions

  • To prepare the meat, first trim away any excess fat, gristle, or sinew. Then, cut the meat into small, manageable pieces. Freezing the meat for about 15-20 minutes before grinding makes it easier to handle and produces a finer grind.
  • Cut the beef into small, manageable pieces.
  • Place the beef into the bowl of the food processor, making sure not to overcrowd it.
  • Pulse the beef until it is ground to your desired consistency, using short bursts of power instead of continuous processing.
  • Check the consistency of the ground beef and pulse it again if necessary.
  • Remove the ground beef from the food processor bowl, and mix it by hand with your preferred spices and seasonings to add flavor.
  • Store the ground beef in the refrigerator or freezer until you are ready to use it.
