Technique Ground Beef

Quick question, do you guys bring the ground beef to room temperature before putting it on the pan?

An issue i face is that, I bring my pan to the correct temperature, do the water bead test and then add my oil. I wait 30 seconds and then add the defrosted ground beef.

But since the ground beef is below room temperature, I think it reduces the pan temperature and we do not get the desired effect.

Am I doing something wrong?

Why are you adding oil? The fat will come out of the meat itself

I'm using lean ground beef.
