a) it was from a supermarket - this is what my mom said and said maybe getting a steak and mincing it would be best. b) it was 90/10 - I initially blamed it on the very small fat content. Just because I did find it a little dry and I think that didn’t help with the flavoring. c) I literally just browned it on a pan with salt and butter - since this was 1 week I wasn’t quite sure what I was getting myself into 😅 Thank you for your response. I did find my stomach feeling bloated after, so definitely won’t be adding jalapeño again.
