This is pretty easy to do and eliminates almost all of the fat from ground beef... Here's how it works:
break up your ground beef as much as possible into tiny pieces and put it into a frying pan. Lightly brown the meat, then add enough water to just barely immerse it. Cook the meat with the water in the pan for a few minutes while stirring then drain the water off. You may repeat this process as many times as needed until the water you drain off no longer has an oily layer on top, and does not appear cloudy. Once you've done your final drain, just finish browning with no water in the pan for a minute or two. Voila, instant 97%+ fat free hamburger meat. Doesn't help if you want to make hamburgers but it's pretty useful for adding to recipes.
