What it is
This is ground beef made from the round primal cut of the cow. It is a lean option for ground beef, meaning it has a lower fat content compared to other grinds. The meat is typically processed into a coarse or fine grind depending on the intended use. It comes packaged for convenient use in home kitchens.
How people cook with it
Ground beef round is a versatile ingredient that can be used in a wide variety of dishes. Its lean nature makes it suitable for recipes where you want to control the fat content.
- Burgers
- Meatloaf

- Sauces
When cooking ground beef round, it's important to avoid overcooking, as its lower fat content can lead to a drier finished product. Browning the meat over medium-high heat is usually the first step. Drain off any excess fat that renders during cooking. It can then be incorporated into sauces, formed into patties, or mixed with other ingredients for dishes like meatloaf or meatballs. Ensure the meat is cooked thoroughly before serving.
