Food processor ground steak
I finally did this yesterday and what a success it was! :-D 11oz strip steak cut into bite-sized chunks - --------------- Cut with knife: http://www.hostpic.org/images/1805131931550104.jpg --------------- Then I put about half into my little toy food processor. --------------- Pulsed in food processor: http://www.hostpic.org/images/1805131935560096.jpg --------------- With the ground, I made two small burgers, no more than 3oz each. It was just an experiment. Ate one burger yesterday and very tasty. The other, I'll eat today. With the remaining half of strip steak, I left in the small chunks. This morning, I pan-seared them and tossed into my crockpot. Added some onion, potato, carrots, mushrooms, some msg, salt, pepper and 2 cups of strong beef broth. This will simmer for hours to get that beef super tender. Should turn out to be a small batch of nice beef stew. If necessary, I'll thicken it a bit at the end. Anyway, the food processor turned that steak into excellent ground beef. Texture not minced but looks and feels just like ground beef that you would buy at the store. I'm a fan now. Next time I see a decent ribeye steak on sale, I'll finally try a few ribeye burgers...one of the items on my bucket list for years. |

The chopped burger is pretty good but the appeal to me is that it's not like ground beef or pork. That's a good thing. I use a tiny toy food chopper thingie. Your chopper thingie looks to be a nicer size and design. I haven't seen one of those with the motor on the top. I like that - it simplifies the design. |

A lotta mishegos for 11 oz of meat...from Gary's pic the pulsed meat might be okay for kaboobs, but it appears not to be a burger mince...

The package said it was the "best chorizo you've ever had!" I have to disagree and added a tablespoon of paprika and some MSG, salt, and sugar. With those things, it was pretty awesome. BTW, I'm ambivalent about the pattern on that plate, it's so mid-sixties - but not in a good way. :) https://www.amazon.com/photos/share/...GV2Ov7g8CV4xH4 |

The trick to was partially freeze the > meat before grinding if I remember correctly. And that's exactly what I did. As I said, it turned out feeling and looking just like ground beef that I would buy in a grocery store. It held together fine for the 2 little hamburgers and the better beef tasted better. I ate them both on fresh bread with only a bit of fried onions...didn't even need any other condiments. Delicious. Even cleaning the toy processor only took a few minutes (and I didn't cut myself this time either, Jill). The remaining chunks (only about 5oz), I turned into a super delicious beef stew. It made about a quart. Not much beef but I added more veggies and some beef broth. Let it simmer for hours. Normally I would use more beef but this was enough for this small batch. At the end, I did decide to thicken it up a bit. I originally thought to make a roux then add that in. Thought about a cornstarch slurry too. I ended up doing the easiest solution - I tossed in a handful of dried potato flakes (aka instant mashed potatoes). Perfect thickener for this dish. Sheldon and his buddy Greg can keep putting it down and gnashing their false teeth but it was a good thing here. I was very happy with the results. |

I meant to respond with a "ME TOO" that I have those plates too. I also have a second pattern that's better but still old. Even some of a 3rd pattern. Can't beat Corelle for the prices though. Just don't drop one on the floor. They don't just break, they explode into hundreds of tiny shards and splinters. Not fun to clean up. Not fun to step on weeks later either. I have some better stoneware (?), all white, that are nice for company but for everyday use, I use the corelle. |

But the last few times I've made it when I toss the beef chunks in I'd sprinkle in a scant tablespoon of flour. The flour cooks completely so there's no raw flour taste and the liquid is just slightly thickened and clings better to the noodles. |

I like Corelle because it's durable and lightweight and I can stick it in the microwave with no ill effects and it doesn't heat up like some ceramic materials will. It's not that attractive but 3 out of 4 ain't bad. |

If someone expresses interest in something of mine, I'm liable to just give it to them. Most times I'm happy to do it but sometimes I regret it later - but only for a little while. :) |
