WHAT TO DO WITH 1LB OF GROUND BEEF RECIPES

Steps:

• Mix the beef, cumin, paprika, salt and plenty of freshly ground black pepper together in a bowl. Divide the mince mixture into 8 portions and press each portion firmly onto flat skewers, each one around 10–12cm/4–4½in long.
• Place a non-stick griddle pan over a high heat and brush with a little oil. Cook the kebabs for about 10 minutes, turning 3–4 times, or until well browned on the outside and thoroughly cooked on the inside – there should be no pink remaining.
• Add the onion wedges to the griddle for the last 5 minutes of the cooking time and griddle until lightly charred, turning occasionally.
• To make the dip, mix the yogurt with the preserved lemon and garlic. Spoon into a serving dish, drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with a little paprika.
• Put the onions onto a serving plate and top with the kebabs, scatter with fresh mint and sprinkle with a little more paprika. Serve with the dip.

Steps:

• Place the beef into a large bowl. Stir in the red wine, salt, and black pepper. Marinate for 10 minutes, then remove the beef and pat dry with a paper towel. Reserve the remaining marinade.
• Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Stir in the beef; cook and stir until browned, then transfer to a plate, 5 to 7 minutes. Drain any remaining grease from the skillet. Melt 2 tablespoons butter over medium heat. Stir in the onion, garlic, and a pinch of salt. Cook and stir until the onion is soft and translucent. Transfer the onion mixture to the plate with the prepared beef; set aside.
• Melt another 2 tablespoons butter in the same skillet over medium heat, and stir in the mushrooms. Cook and stir until the mushrooms are tender, about 10 minutes. Place the cooked mushrooms in a bowl and set aside. Melt 1/4 cup of butter in the skillet. Whisk in the flour, cook and stir until the flour no longer tastes raw, about 4 minutes. Slowly whisk in the beef stock. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly, then reduce heat to medium low. Pour in the reserved red wine marinade, Worcestershire sauce, prepared mustard, and red pepper flakes, then add the beef and onion mixture. Cover and simmer until the meat is tender, about 1 hour. Season with salt and black pepper.
• Stir in the mushrooms, sour cream, and cream cheese about 5 minutes before serving.
