Description
Lean ground beef is a versatile and healthy option for a variety of dishes. It is made by grinding cuts of beef that have a lower fat content, such as those from the sirloin, round, or flank. The “lean” designation means that the meat contains a smaller percentage of fat, typically around 10-15%. This type of ground beef is a great choice for cooks who want to reduce the fat in their meals without sacrificing flavour. It works well in a wide range of recipes, from lean burgers and meatballs to meat sauces, tacos, and casseroles. Because of its lower fat content, it doesn’t shrink as much during cooking and produces less grease, making it easier to work with. While it is a healthier choice, it can become dry if overcooked. To keep it juicy, it is best to cook it just until it’s no longer pink and to avoid over-mixing it. Lean ground beef offers a clean, robust beef flavour and is a staple in many kitchens for its reliability and health benefits.
