Tag: Boiling beef

According to a study reported by the Mississippi State University Extension Service, a simple rinsing process can reduce the fat content of cooked ground beef crumbles by as much as 50%. The question is, does boiling beef reduce fat in a practical way for home cooks, and at what cost to flavor and nutrition?

Approximately 60% of certain B vitamins can be lost from meat during long cooking times in liquid. This often raises the question: **Does boiling beef remove nutrients?** The answer is yes, to some extent, but the full picture is more nuanced than simple nutrient loss and largely depends on how you cook and serve the beef.
