Use a ladle and just dip it below the surface so that the fat on top runs into it.

Haven;t done this for a long time as I generally buy low fat meat these days.

I use a paper towel lay it on the top... picks up the fat nice and clean.
Or as Derek suggested.

Thanks,
I guess having the leanest cuts would make it easy to keep the fat down.Would this be best done taken off the heat for a few seconds.
