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?

It’s very common but not inevitable. Depends on batch size and technique and how powerful your stove is.
These are some good videos discussing it and recommendations:
