- Pre-heat medium-sized cast iron skillet, with nothing in it, on low for about 1-2 minutes. Then, turn heat to medium. If using skillet that is not cast-iron, preheating is not necessary.
- Add a small amount of cooking oil of choice. The amount of oil will depend on the fat content in the meat. Allow it to melt and heat slightly.
- Add meat, any vegetables of choice. Chop with meat chopper or utensil.
- Cook over medium to medium-high heat. Season with salt and pepper.
- Cook until no pink remains.
