Frequently Asked Questions
What temperature should ground beef be cooked to?
Cook ground beef to 71°C (160°F). Unlike a steak, ground beef should not be served pink in the middle.
Should I drain ground beef?
Drain it when using 80/20 or fattier beef, leaving about a tablespoon of fat in the pan for flavour. Lean beef rarely needs draining.
How long does cooked ground beef keep?
Refrigerate it within 2 hours and use it within 3 to 4 days, or freeze it for up to 3 months.
Can I use ground turkey instead of ground beef?
Yes, in most of these recipes, but cook ground turkey or chicken to 74°C (165°F). It is leaner than beef, so add a little oil to the pan when browning it.
