The Essential Ingredients
- Ground Beef: Also called ‘hamburger,’ it’s made by grinding beef cuts and beef trim. It works well in dishes that require crumbles, and typically any leanness of Ground Beef works well in dishes – just be sure to drain any remaining fat after cooking.
- Onion Powder: A finely ground seasoning made from dehydrated onions. It allows you to cook with the flavor of onion without the texture; it’s also shelf stable. Onion powder can be used in just about any cooking – rubs, dips, marinades, stews, dressings, and more.
- Sage: The smell may remind you of the holidays, as it’s often used in combination with thyme and rosemary as a popular meat and stuffing seasoning during the holiday season. It’s a fragrant herb with a mild but slightly peppery flavor. You can find it fresh or dried.
- Garlic: A flavorful bulb that is related to the onion family. It has a strong aroma (that fills your kitchen), taste that enhances your dish and is known for its versatility.
- Crushed Red Pepper: Made from dried and crushed red chili peppers, typically including cayenne. It’s a global spice and adds a fiery flavor. Great for adding to pizzas, pasta sauces and marinades.
Safe Handling Tips:
- Wash hands with soap and water before cooking and always after touching raw meat.
- Separate raw meat from other foods.
- Wash all cutting boards, utensils, and dishes after touching raw meat.
- Do not reuse marinades used on raw foods.
- Wash all produce prior to use.
- Cook steaks and roasts until temperature reaches 145°F for medium rare, as measured by a meat thermometer, allowing to rest for three minutes.
- Cook Ground Beef to 160°F as measured by a meat thermometer.
- Refrigerate leftovers promptly.
