To prepare ground beef, it is typically cooked in a skillet over medium-high heat. Break up the meat with a spoon as it cooks to ensure even browning. Drain off any excess fat once it has browned. It can then be seasoned with salt, pepper, and other spices to suit the recipe. This browned ground beef is ready to be incorporated into sauces, fillings, or other dishes. Always ensure it is cooked thoroughly before serving.
