What it is
This is a package of ground beef from Signature Farms, weighing 16 ounces. It has a leanness of 93% and a fat content of 7%. This composition means it contains a higher proportion of meat to fat compared to other ground beef options. It is a versatile ingredient commonly used in many home-cooked meals.
How people cook with it
Ground beef is a staple in kitchens worldwide, offering a convenient base for countless dishes. Its texture and flavor make it adaptable to a wide range of culinary preparations.
- Burgers
- Tacos
- Meatloaf
- Sauces
To prepare, this ground beef can be browned in a skillet over medium-high heat, breaking it up with a spoon as it cooks. Drain off any excess fat that renders during cooking. It can then be incorporated into sauces, used as a filling for tacos or burritos, formed into patties for burgers, or mixed with other ingredients for meatloaf. The lean percentage means it will release less fat during cooking, resulting in a less greasy final product.
How it differs from similar foods
Compared to ground beef with a higher fat percentage, such as 80/20, this 93/7 variety will result in a leaner finished dish. It tends to hold its shape better when cooked and produces less grease, making it a good choice for those who prefer a lighter taste or are mindful of fat content.
How to keep the rest
After opening, store any unused ground beef in an airtight container or wrap it tightly in plastic wrap. It should be kept refrigerated and used within one to two days, or frozen for longer storage. Proper storage helps maintain its freshness and prevents spoilage.
