Black Angus Unseasoned Beef Patties
What it is
These are pre-formed patties made from 100% Black Angus beef. They are sold frozen and are unseasoned, meaning they do not contain any added salt, pepper, or other spices. This allows for complete control over the final flavor profile when cooking. The Black Angus designation refers to a specific breed of cattle known for its marbling and tenderness. The patties are typically a convenient option for quick meal preparation.
How people cook with it
These beef patties are a versatile base for many meals. They are ideal for grilling, pan-frying, or broiling.

- Customizable burger creations
To cook, remove the patties from their packaging. It is best to cook them from a frozen state to maintain their shape and moisture. Heat your grill, griddle, or frying pan to medium-high heat. Place the frozen patties onto the hot surface. Cook for approximately 4-6 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches a safe level and the desired level of doneness is achieved. Avoid pressing down on the patties while cooking, as this can squeeze out valuable juices. Season them during or after cooking according to your preference.
How it differs from similar foods
Unlike seasoned patties, these offer a blank canvas for flavor. They allow you to control the exact spices and seasonings used, catering to specific dietary needs or taste preferences. The Black Angus breed also contributes to a richer, more tender eating experience compared to generic beef.

How to keep the rest
Keep these beef patties frozen until ready to use. Store them in the freezer at 0°F (-18°C) or below. Once thawed, they should be cooked immediately and should not be refrozen. Ensure the original packaging remains sealed to prevent freezer burn.
