  • Our take on the 81/19 Ground Beef

    81/19 ground beef is regular ground beef with roughly 81% lean meat and 19% fat, a ratio that keeps burgers and meatballs juicy and gives sauces body. It is the fattier everyday grind, so it browns well and stays moist when cooked hard, but it shrinks more and throws off more rendered fat than 85/15 or 90/10. Shoppers rate it highly, and it suits anyone cooking burgers, tacos, chili or ragù who wants flavor and moisture over the leanest option.

    Questions and answers

    Is 81/19 good for burgers?
    Yes. The 19% fat keeps patties moist and flavorful, especially when cooked hot and fast. Expect more shrinkage and rendered fat than with 85/15.
    How does it compare with 85/15 or 90/10?
    It is fattier and juicier than both. 85/15 is a middle ground, and 90/10 is leaner and drier but shrinks less and needs added fat for burgers.
    Should I drain the fat?
    For chili, tacos and sauces, spoon off excess rendered fat before adding liquids. For burgers, most of it cooks out on the grill or in the pan.
    What dishes is it best for?
    Burgers, meatballs, meatloaf, tacos, chili and ragù. Leaner grinds suit dishes where fat pooling is a problem.
    How should I store and cook it?
    Keep it refrigerated and cook it thoroughly, as with any ground beef. Use or freeze it by the date on the pack.
    Where is the 81/19 Ground Beef cheapest?
