Beef Mince

Beef mince is minced fresh in-store daily at around 15 to 18% fat, the balance point that makes it the better mince for burgers, meatballs, koftas and sausage rolls. That fat bastes the meat from within as it cooks and helps patties hold together instead of falling apart. Around 25g protein per 100g cooked. For burgers, handle it lightly and do not compress the patties, which keeps them tender. For sauces, brown it well in a hot, uncrowded pan first. It freezes well on the day of purchase, so buy extra and portion it. For a leaner option with less shrinkage, choose our Premium Lean Beef Mince instead.
