Need help/tips w. grass fed ground beef page

[shema]

Hi folks. I find that I struggle whenever I try making chili or simple ground beef stir fry when I use grass fed beef. The raw ground beef tends to be tough, gamey, and hard to break up, so that when I do make chili or something similar, I have these big lumps of ground beef rather than a finished product with a nice, uniform consistency.

What am I doing wrong? Are there any tips anyone has to break up gamey grass fed ground beef while I'm cooking it??

I just attack it with a spatula when I throw it in the pan and keep working on it until it's where I want it.

This. It also sometimes helps to put it on a cutting board or plate and break it up before frying as well.

if it really bothers you and your having difficulty you can put it in a food processor to break it up a bit more, maybe with some coconut oil or water.

Thanks everyone. Sounds like I just need to be a bit more aggressive in "attacking it" or throw it in the food processor? So I'm not the only one that finds it pretty tough in texture though, right?

Thanks again!

I wouldn't put it in food processor *pictures baby food mush*

Definitely attack it with the spatula. It will not break up as easily as conventional ground beef, but it will if you are persistent.
