COOKING INSTRUCTIONS
British Steak Mince 5% Fat
Allow the mince to come to room temperature prior to cooking. Remove all packaging. Preheat a wide, heavy bottomed pan over a high heat and add 5ml (1 tsp.) of oil. Add minced steak and brown all over for 5 - 8 minutes per 400g. Then use as per your favourite recipe.
Ensure the minced steak is piping hot throughout before serving.
Chef's Tip: For best results, use a wide heavy bottomed pan to allow the minced steak to spread out and brown in a thin layer. Break up the minced steak with a wooden spoon before or during cooking to release the meaty flavour!
