💭 faq
When cooking ground beef, make sure to skip the seed oils and use a heat-stable cooking fat that won’t go rancid at high temperatures (coconut oil, ghee, tallow, etc.)
Yes. However, make sure to time the addition of the ingredients properly. Ground beef will cook a lot faster than onions or carrots, for example, so make sure to add the meat only after the vegetables have softened.
