Is 80/20 good for burgers?

Yes. 80/20 is the classic burger ratio: enough fat for juiciness, and it renders off rather than soaking the bun. Form loose patties and don't overwork the meat.

How does grass-fed ground beef differ from supermarket ground beef?

Grass and pasture-raised beef tends to be leaner and more mineral, beefy in flavor, and it cooks faster. Expect a slightly firmer texture and less shrinkage than commodity 80/20.

What can I make with a 1 lb package?

About four burgers, or one meatloaf, or a skillet of sloppy joes for four. The 1 lb size suits a single meal for a family of four.

Is it dry-aged, and does that matter for ground beef?

Yes, the beef is dry-aged before grinding. Dry aging concentrates flavor and tenderness, which carries into the grind.

Does it contain hormones or antibiotics?

No. The cattle are raised without added hormones or antibiotics, and the beef is USDA inspected.

Our take on the Ground Beef

This is 80/20 ground beef from pasture-raised cattle, sold in 1 lb packages. The 80/20 lean-to-fat ratio is the standard for burgers and meatloaf: enough fat to stay juicy, but it drains off more than 70/30. It is grass and non-GMO grain fed, raised without hormones or antibiotics, and dry-aged, which puts it above commodity supermarket ground beef on sourcing. Reviewers of pasture-raised beef generally note a beefier flavor and leaner texture than conventional grain-fed beef, and 80/20 is the most forgiving grind for beginners.
