how to brown ground meat without burning onions and garlic

[Anonymous No.16780028]

90% of recipes with ground meat start like "add oil, sweat onion and garlic until browned, then add your ground meat and cook until brown"
the problem is that meat can take a while to brown, and while it does the onions and garlic are gonna burn, especially if I sweat them beforehand.
I could add the onions and garlic later, but I've never seen a recipe recommend that. So how the fuck do these recipes except you to actually brown the meat without burning the rest of what's in the pan?

I've always thought this was fucking retarded too.

Brown the meat first, remove it from the pan. There will be enough fat left to saute the onion. Add the onion and some salt which will release enough water from it to deglaze usually.

Add the garlic at the end for 1-2 minutes.

Whenever I see a recipe and they add the onions and garlic first I just turn it off cause it's obviously amateur hour.

they dont burn because of the meat juices, onions especially would never burn in this situation

only kind of related, but when i feel like putting in the effort, i will form the beef into large, thin patties and take it outside to my propane burner and sear it on high heat (don't like grease splatter in my kitchen). then i let it cool and crumble it with my hands. it's the best way to maximize surface area. makes the best chili meat you've ever had.

Vegetables need to get hotter than meat so cooking them first is the "efficient" option if you don't want to do shit like transfer the meat out of the pan to another dish

actually the onions would just boil
i don't brown the meat anyway I just wait for the fat to get re-incorporated
also add garlic close to whenever your food is almost done, cooking the shit out of it is pointless

I usually make a couple smashed patties in the pan and let them get nice and brown, then chunk it up with the spatula

do this op
realise that you are allowed to take things out of your pan and add them later on to bring them up to temp again and never look back
