Browning ground beef is essential to bring out the flavor and color. To ensure it doesn’t stew, cook in batches. Add a dash of oil to a hot pan before adding ground beef. Stir to ensure the ground beef browns evenly and does not stick to the pan. If it begins to stew and water gathers at the bottom of the pan, the ground beef will taste like it has been boiled.
