Ground Beef

This is more of a technique than a recipe. I used 1/2 of a chuck roast, because it's what I had on hand. Chuck roasts are kind of pricey, so feel free to use a different cut. You can make as much ground beef, or as little as you need.


Get out your food processor and make sure it's fitted with the steel blade attachment. Trim your meat of excess fat. Cut it into 3" by 3" chunks. You only want to process one chunk of beef at a time to ensure it's processed uniformly and you don't end up with overly ground beef with big pieces that aren't ground up at all. Process each piece on high for 20 - 30 seconds. Remove ground beef to a large bowl and then process your next piece. Continue until you have ground up the desired amount.
