Place the frozen pack of meat in the sink in luke warm water.

I have never defrosted frozen ground beef prior to cooking in my life
Is that wrong?

Depends on what you are using it for.
Tacos or sloppy joes.....no.
Meatloaf, meatballs or burgers....yes.

What are you making.

Warm water in the sink or else your going to start cooking it

I probably wouldn't have used frozen ground beef for those, so this is encouraging for my adulting self-esteem

not unless you've found a way to break the laws of physics

takes less time to run to the store and get fresh ground beef then trying to fight defrosting it in a hurry.
had you done this instead of posting here you would already be home with it ready to cook

Running lukewarm water in the sink is the best way I’ve found.

Submerge sealed meat in cold water and change out with more cold water as the water gets warm

How would frozen meat make water warm
Posted on 5/26/21 at 6:01 pm to J Murdah
Protip good ole Murda, don’t put in fridge. The water will start to get warm as the meat defrosts. Change it with cold tap water

That's not how thermal dynamics works.

bullshite. It’s just not with microwave quickness. I would never defrost meat in a microwave.
USDA guidelines
Cold Water Thawing
This method is faster than refrigerator thawing but requires more attention. The food must be in a leak-proof package or plastic bag. If the bag leaks, bacteria from the air or surrounding environment could be introduced into the food. Also, the meat tissue may absorb water, resulting in a watery product.
The bag should be submerged in cold tap water, changing the water every 30 minutes so it continues to thaw. Small packages of meat, poultry or seafood — about a pound — may thaw in an hour or less. A 3-to 4-pound package may take 2 to 3 hours. For whole turkeys, estimate about 30 minutes per pound. If thawed completely, the food must be cooked immediately.
Foods thawed by the cold water method should be cooked before refreezing.

If you put frozen meat in cold water, the water will not get warm, it will get colder. Heat flows from hot to cold objects. When a hot and a cold body are in thermal contact, they exchange heat energy until they reach thermal equilibrium, with the hot body cooling down and the cold body warming up.
The frozen (solid) product is colder than the water (liquid) and therefore heat transfers from the water to the frozen product until thermal equilibrium is achieved. Another way to say it is:
Frozen meat in liquid water will cause the water to cool, not warm. As you stated twice in the above quotes.
Thermal dynamics don't work dat way, baw.

The second law of thermodynamics states that in a natural thermodynamic process, the sum of the entropies of the interacting thermodynamic systems never decreases. Another form of the statement is that heat does not spontaneously pass from a colder body to a warmer body.

Of course initially the water gets cooler but as the water interacts with room temperature and the meat starts to defrost the water starts to warm up.
I do this all the time.
I also quoted from the USDA on the safe practices and why.
