Lean to fat ratios vary; however, if a package is labeled ground beef, it must be no more thant 30% fat. A bright, cherry-red color indicates fresh ground beef. However, fresh ground beef goes through a number of color changes during its shelf life. A darker, purplish-red color is typical of vacuum-packaged ground beef or the interior of packaged ground beef which has not been exposed to oxygen. Once exposed to oxygen, ground beef will turn from darker red to bright red. Store properly wrapped ground beef in the coldest part of the refrigerator (36 F to 40 F); use or freeze within 2 days. Ground beef can be frozen in its original transparent packaging for up to 2 weeks. For longer storage, rewrap ground beef tightly in heavy-duty aluminum foil, freezer paper or plastic freezer bags and store up to 4 months at 0 F or lower. Defrost ground beef in the refrigerator to prevent bacterial growth. Never defrost at room temperature. Wash hands with hot soapy water before and after handling raw meats. Also, wash utensils, counters, cutting boards and other surfaces raw meat has touched. Do not overmix as patties, meatballs and loaves will have a firm, compact texture. Cook ground beef to a least medium (160 F) doneness, or until no longer pink and the juices run clear. All forms of ground beef including patties, loaves, meatballs and crumbles should be cooked to medium doneness. It's risky to eat rare ground beef because surface bacteria are transferred to the interior of the meat during grinding. Brush brown sauces such as teriyaki, Worcestershire or soy on the cooked surface of beef patties. When these sauces are mixed into the raw product, it is difficult to determine doneness. * COOKFDN brings you this information with permission from: * Texas Beef Council -- http://www.txbeef.org ----- ---------- Recipe via Meal-Master (tm) v8.05 Title: Jumping Jacques Jalapeno Burgers Categories: Main dish, Meats, Grill/bbq Yield: 4 Servings 1 lb Ground beef 1 sm Onion; diced (4 tbsp.) 1 tb Cream 1 Garlic clove; crushed 1/2 ts Salt 1/2 ts Pepper 4 ts Salsa Picante 4 ts Jalapeno Nacho Slices -- chopped 1/2 c Shredded cheddar cheese 1.

Divide mixture into thirds and shape to form three loaves, each about 1-1/2 inches thick; place on rack in open roasting pan. Combine reserved tomato sauce, brown sugar and mustard; spread over top of loaves. 3. Bake in 350 F oven 40 to 45 minutes or until no longer pink and juices run clear. To serve cut each meatloaf into 1-inch thick slices. Cook's tip: To make soft bread crumbs, place torn bread slices in food processor, fitted with steel blade, or blender container. Cover; process 30 seconds, pulsing on and off, until fine crumbs. One and a half slices will yield 1 cup soft bread crumbs. * COOKFDN brings you this recipe with permission from: * Texas Beef Council -- http://www.txbeef.org ----- ---------- Recipe via Meal-Master (tm) v8.05 Title: Muffin Tin Meatloaves Categories: Meats, Main dish Yield: 6 Servings 1 1/2 lb Lean ground beef 1 1/2 c Shredded zucchini 1 c Soft bread crumbs 1 Egg; slightly beaten 1 ts Dried Italian seasoning 1/2 ts Salt 1/4 c Ketchup Preparation time: 30 minutes . 1.

Place meat slices into a large bowl or a gallon-sized zip lock freezer bag. Pour 1 to 1 1/2 oz. Red Creek Jerkey Marinade per pound of meat over the slices. Be sure to vigorously shake the bottle of marinade prior to pouring. 2. Work marinade into meat so that each slice is thoroughly exposed to marinade and place in refrigerator for three to four hours. At this stage, slices can be marinated up to 24 hours if desired. Meat should absorb all of marinade. If not, use a colander to drain any remaining marinade from meat. 3. If additional black pepper is desired, lay meat slices out flat on waxed paper, sprinkle with coarsely ground black pepper and roll pepper in to the surface of the meat slices with a rolling pin or "pat" it in by hand. 4. Continue with either the dehydrator method or oven method of drying to the jerky stage. Dehydrator Method: Place marinated meat slices on dehydrator racks and dry to jerky stage according to dehydrator manufacturer's diredtions. Length of drying time will depend on size and type of dehydrator used, and whether or not your dehydrator is constructed with a heating element only or with both a heating element and fan. If your dehydrator has a temperature gauge, dry at its maximum setting (but no more that 165 degrees). Check drying process periodically. It may be necessary to rearrange placement of racks to insure even drying of meat slices. Oven Method: Place a layer of heavy duty aluminum foil or a large jelly roll pan on the bottom oven rack to catch any drips or black pepper. Heat oven to 165 degrees and place marinated meat slices in single layer directly on oven racks. Dry meat slices with oven door slightyly ajar so that moisture can escape, turning occasionally until meat is dried to jerky stage. Things to remember: The thicker the meat is sliced, the longer the drying process will be. Finish jerky yield will be less than raw meat yield. Unless dried to 0 moisture level, refrigerate finished product. * COOKFDN brings you this recipe with permission from: * Texas Beef Council -- http://www.txbeef.org ----- ---------- Recipe via Meal-Master (tm) v8.05 Title: Hearts' Delight Dinner Categories: Low-fat Yield: 8 Servings ------------------------------ROASTED SIRLOIN------------------------------ 1 2-3 lbs. top sirloin -- cut 2" thick 1 1/2 ts Dried or fresh rosemary -- crushed --------------------------CRANBERRY-JALAPENO SALSA-------------------------- 1 c Fresh cranberries 1/2 Orange; juiced 1/3 c Sugar 2 Red bell peppers, roasted* -- peeled & diced 1 sm Jalapeno; roasted, peeled, -- seded & diced 3 tb Chopped cilantro Zest of 1/2 lime Zest of 1/2 orange ------------------------------RED PEPPER SAUCE------------------------------ 2 md Red bell peppers, roasted* 1 ts Red wine vinegar 1/4 ts Salt ------------------------GREENS W/WALNUT VINAIGRETTE------------------------ 1/3 c Rice wine vinegar 1 tb Water 2 ts Walnut oil 1 ts White wine Worcestershire 1/2 ts Sugar 1/8 ts Salt 1/8 ts Pepper 2 1/2 tb Finely chopped walnuts -- toasted 8 c Mixed field greens ----------------------------CITRUS-BERRY DELIGHT---------------------------- 1 Graham cracker crust -(reduced-fat) 1 cn Sweetened condensed milk -(non-fat) 1/3 c Key lime juice 8 oz Light whipped topping Roasted Sirloin: Press rosemary into both sides of sirloin steak.

Our recipes start with beef taken directly from the refrigerator. It is not a safe food practice to bring meat to room temperature before cooking Use medium to medium-low coals to ensure even cooking. Trim excess fat from meats to avoid flare-ups while grilling. Direct grilling can be done with the grill covered or open; foods cooked in a covered grill usually cook faster. Use long-handled tongs for turning steaks or roasts; spatulas for turning burgers. Don not use a fork, which pierces the beef, allowing flavorful juices to escape. Determine the doneness of steaks by making a small slit near the bone and checking the color; for boneless cuts make a slit near the center. For thicker steaks, use a quick-recovery meat thermometer to accruately gauge the doneness. Grilling with Mesquite & Hickory for Great Flavor: Mesquite and Hickory are great for grilling. They're easy to light and you're grilling in 20 minutes. Wood can be used with any type grill. You'll enjoy the outdoor Texas flavor it gives you meals! Mesquite wood provides a sweet, delicate taste that accents beef. Hickory wood imparts a smoky, bacon-like flavor often associated with Southern-style cooking. Direct Grilling Method: Foods are cooked directly over coals. This is a fast method for cooking steaks and burgers. Mesquite wood burns hot, so cook around perimeter of coals Indirect Grilling Method: Slow cook thicker steaks and roasts in a covered grill. Bank coals around a foil pan. Place beef over pan so food is not over coals. Keep grill temperature at 300 degrees to roast. Add wood to maintain heat. Flavoring with Wood Chips: Wrap a handful of wood chips in a foil pouch. Pierce the foil to release smoke. Put pouch over hot charcoal or gas briquettes. The chips will smolder and not flame. Cooking with Wood Chunks: Stack wood over 2 sheets of crumpled newspaper or starter stick. Open vents. Light paper; let wood burn 15-20 minutes. Extinguish flame by closing lid and vents for 30 seconds. Adjust vents for desired heat level. Begin grilling. Note; Hickory is a dense wood and may require more paper or lighter fluid to start fire. Or, use convenient Light-the-bag chunks. The wood is pre-measured for one cookout. Place entire bag in grill and light corners. To test temperature of coals: Hold your palm over grill at cooking height. If the heat forces you to pull away in 3 seconds, coals are hot; if 4 seconds, coals are medium and it 5 seconds, coals are low. To lower temperature of coals; Raise grid or spread out the coals. If cooker is covered, close vents halfway To raise temperature of coals; Lower grid or push together coals. Add more chunks to outer edge of hot coals. If cooker is covered, open vents fully. Checking Beef's Doneness: Use a quick-read meat thermometer. Or, you can also use the touch method. If the meat is rare, it will feel soft and yielding; if medium it will give slightly; and if well-done it will be firm * COOKFDN brings you this information with permission from: * Texas Beef Council -- http://www.txbeef.org ----- ---------- Recipe via Meal-Master (tm) v8.05 Title: Steak & Parmesan-Grilled Vegetables Categories: Main dish, Vegetables, Meats, Grill/bbq Yield: 4 Servings 2 Beef T-bone steaks -OR Porterhouse steaks -(well-trimmed), 1" thick 1/4 c Grated Parmesan cheese 2 tb Olive oil 2 tb Red wine vinegar 2 Red or yellow bell peppers -- each cut into quarters 1 lg Red onion; cut crosswise -- into 1/2" slices ---------------------------------SEASONING--------------------------------- 1 tb Crushed garlic 2 ts Dried basil leaves 1 ts Pepper Preparation time: 30 Minutes 1.
