Cooking beef on my stove top

[guower]

I just moved into an apartment and I would like to start cooking up some beef. It's pretty cheap where I'm at. I can get some ground beef for about $5 or $6 a pound and I can food prep for several days with it.
What's the best way to cook it on my stovetop? Any particular tips and tricks? I tried to cook it and it burned and the other time it was very wet and came out really bad.
