About this cut
What it is and how to use it
Ground beef is made from beef trim or whole cuts that are run through a grinder. It is sold by its lean-to-fat ratio, such as 80/20 or 90/10, and sometimes by the cut it came from, like chuck, round, or sirloin. Fat adds flavor and juiciness, while leaner blends can dry out. It is the base for burgers, meatballs, meatloaf, chili, tacos, and pasta sauces.
