Recommended Equipment
Instructions
- Heat the olive oil in a 4 to 5-quart sauté pan or chef's pan over medium-high heat. Add the block of ground beef to the pan and let it cook undisturbed for 4 minutes, then use a spatula to break it up into smaller pieces. Continue cooking and stirring the beef until it is browned throughout, about 4 to 6 minutes. Drain off and discard excess grease.2 tsp olive oil | 1 pound ground beef
