I previously bought some ground beef from a store, and it was actually really good. So I decided to go back and buy 1.5 kg to meal prep for the entire week.
Unfortunately, after cooking some of it, I realized the quality was absolutely terrible. It's full of hard bits, chewy pieces, and what feels like cartilage or connective tissue. The texture is so disgusting that just thinking about eating it makes me gag.
Now I'm stuck with all this meat, and I really don't want to throw it away, especially considering how much I spent on it.
Is there any way I could salvage it? Maybe extract something useful from it, turn it into something else, or use it in a way that doesn't involve dealing with that horrible texture?
For context, I don't really have any special kitchen equipment to grind or process the meat further.
I'd appreciate any suggestions. Thanks!
