Squares of plastic wrap. Works better for me than waxed paper. I've

Gets me consistent portions.

Similar to using powder scoops for ammo reloading and only weighing
every few powder loads on the powder scale to make sure I'm being
consistent.

If I can reload ammo without exceeding chamber pressure tolerance and
blowing up my rifle, I think I can consistently measure out a beef
portion with a measuring cup. ;-)

And it saves a hell of a lot of time...
