How do you keep ground beef juicy and not dry?
>>
Add little bits of water everynow and then
>>
Add fat
>>
Spit on it
>>
>>22009647
On that thang?
>>
>>22009634
Grind my own ground beef.
>>
Higher fat content=juicier mince

Too much fat after cooking=drain

Salt and season at least 2 hours to at most 1 day ahead of cooking.

Add an acid like cooking wine or vinegar or something while it's cooking. It'll keep it tender and balance flavors us you're add more liquid to it.

That's it. Don't overthink it.

>>22009634
Add some half and half
>>
>>22009634
you can add some chicken or beef broth if it gets dry
>>
>>22009634
You can add a little bit of yogurt
>>
>>22009634
I like to add a bit of steel cut oats, about a heap tablespoon for every pound of ground I'm making. The oat flakes soaks up the moisture and fats from rendering and holds on to them until you take a bite.
>>
>>22009634
Make sure its not freezer burned.
>>
I always add some cumin.
>>
>>22009634
it already does that itself, op.
>>
>>22009793
and definitely salt and pepper. basically just dont cook it too long or at too high a heat. dont buy the leanest option either, or add some extra fat to the pan as you go.

oh. its just that i do add cumin.
>>
never in my life have I eaten ground beef and thought it was dry, in any preparation. I suspect this is only possible with like 93/7 or something which I would never purchase.

But you have to think like even 7 percent fat is a huge quantity of fat. Even lean ground beef would never dry out.
>>
I buy 20/80 or 25/75
>>

See >>22009644
I was given super lean ground beef for free before. Had to use a ton of oil, but in the end it tasted super juicy and great. Of course, if it's over oiled, drain some of it out (and use to saute your veggies).

i have had minced/ground (don't even know the difference) meat in the freezer for more than a year
is that shit still edible?
i didn't even take it out of its packaging just threw it in the freezer after buying. the plastic film has a small hole as well.
>>
>>22012496
almost certainly just fine
>>
By not being overcharged for it. Everything is better when you don't overpay.
>>
You didnt add enough BUTTER
