About Beef, ground, 80% lean meat / 20% fat, patty, cooked, broiled
This popular ground meat option is made from beef that's been finely chopped and often shaped into patties before cooking. The 80/20 ratio refers to the lean meat to fat content, which contributes to its rich flavor and juicy texture when prepared. A typical cooked serving provides a substantial amount of high-quality protein, making it a valuable choice for those looking to meet their daily protein needs. While it contains no carbohydrates or fiber, it does deliver a significant amount of fat, with nearly half of that being saturated fat. It's also a good source of essential nutrients like iron, zinc, and B vitamins, particularly B12, which supports energy metabolism and red blood cell formation.
In the kitchen, this versatile meat is commonly shaped into burger patties and grilled or broiled, but it can also be used in a variety of other dishes such as meatballs, meatloaf, tacos, and casseroles. Because of its higher fat content, it tends to stay moist during cooking, which makes it forgiving for beginner cooks. However, those monitoring their saturated fat intake may want to balance it with leaner proteins or plant-based sides. When preparing it, draining excess fat after cooking can help reduce overall calorie and fat content without sacrificing too much flavor.
