Chop
meat
to
the
exact
texture
you
want
—
and
control
the
amount
of
fat
Our
test
kitchen finds
20%
fat
ideal
—
less
than
the
usual
supermarket
mixture.
Use
boneless
beef—round,
chuck
or
any
cut
you
choose.
Before
chopping
it,
trim
off
all
membrane,
gristle
and
fat.
Reserve
the
fat,
which
will
usually
be
more
than
you
need.
Cut
the
beef
into
1-inch
cubes
and
chill
until
slightly
firm—usually
30
minutes
in
the
freezer.
