  • I thought ground beef was the American name for minced beef?

    In my experience ground beef is actually minced beef as we know it.

    I've done it in my FP many times. The texture is slightly different than going through a mincer, but it does the job rightly.

    Ground beef is minced beef. Sometimes its ground finer, depending on where bought though.

    Yeah, ground beef is pretty much the american term for minced beef. As with mincing, there's different grinds, but I wouldn't panic *too* much about that!
    On the up :D

  • Thank you everyone - it is for an Arabic recipe which looks like marzipan type texture!
