Bring the mince to room temperature (10-15 minutes out of the fridge) for easier handling and even cooking.
Heat a heavy-based pan or large pot over medium-high heat with a light drizzle of oil (or none, as the 15% fat provides natural succulence).
Add the mince and break it up with a wooden spoon, cooking for 8-12 minutes (in batches if needed for larger quantities) until browned and any excess moisture evaporates, season generously with sea salt, black pepper, and your chosen herbs/spices midway for maximum flavour. For saucy dishes like bolognese, chilli, or ragu, start with onions, garlic, and vegetables for a flavour base.
Continue as per your recipe (e.g., add tomatoes/stock and simmer 45-90 minutes or longer for rich depth in sauces; for burgers/meatballs, form into patties/balls and pan-fry or grill 4-6 minutes per side to internal 71°C for safety). Check our guide to safe cooking temperatures for details.
Rest formed patties briefly (1-2 minutes) to retain juices.
If frozen, thaw slowly in the fridge first, see our freezing and defrosting guide.
Serve in your favourite hearty dishes to showcase the deep, savoury beef flavour, layer into large lasagne with creamy béchamel, top family-sized cottage pie with fluffy mash and cheese, simmer into rich bolognese or chilli con carne for a crowd, or shape into juicy meatballs/burgers; pair with pasta, potatoes, fresh vegetables, salad, or garlic bread for a comforting, satisfying meal that feeds everyone generously.
