Cub Foods Ground Beef 93/7
What it is
This is a package of ground beef with a lean-to-fat ratio of 93% lean and 7% fat. It is made from beef that has been ground to a consistent texture. This ratio indicates a relatively lean cut of beef, meaning it contains less fat compared to other ground beef options. The beef is typically sourced from cattle and processed for consumer use. It is a common ingredient in many home-cooked meals.
How people cook with it
Ground beef is a versatile ingredient that can be used in a wide variety of dishes. Its texture and flavor make it suitable for many cooking methods.
- Burgers
- Tacos
- Meatloaf
- Pasta sauces
To cook this ground beef, you can typically start by breaking it up in a skillet over medium-high heat. As it cooks, drain off any excess fat that accumulates. You can then add seasonings, vegetables, or sauces directly to the pan. It is important to cook ground beef thoroughly until it is no longer pink inside to ensure it is safe to eat. The lean content means it will brown nicely and absorb flavors well without becoming too greasy.
How it differs from similar foods
Compared to ground beef with a higher fat content, such as 80/20, this 93/7 version will render less fat during cooking. This results in a leaner finished product and can make dishes feel lighter. It also means the beef may brown a bit faster and might require slightly less draining.
Who it is for
Home cooks looking for a leaner option for everyday meals will find this ground beef suitable.
How to keep the rest
After opening the package, store any unused ground beef in an airtight container or wrap it tightly in plastic wrap or foil. Refrigerate it immediately. It is best to use the remaining beef within one to two days for optimal freshness and safety.
