These are pre-formed beef patties made with an 80% lean to 20% fat ratio. The fat content contributes to flavor and moisture during cooking. They are designed for convenience, saving time on preparation. The patties are typically found in the refrigerated section of the grocery store, ready to be cooked and served.
These beef patties are a versatile base for many meals. They are excellent for grilling or pan-frying.
To cook, place the patties on a preheated grill or in a hot skillet. Cook for several minutes per side, depending on desired doneness. For medium, aim for an internal temperature of around 160 degrees Fahrenheit. Avoid pressing down on the patties while cooking, as this can release valuable juices and make them dry. They can be seasoned before or after cooking.
Compared to leaner beef options, the 80/20 ratio provides a richer, more savory flavor and a tender texture. This higher fat content helps prevent the patties from drying out, making them more forgiving for home cooks.

Keep any unused patties refrigerated. It is best to cook them within a few days of purchase. If you need to store them for longer, they can be frozen, tightly wrapped to prevent freezer burn.
