Premium LEAN Beef Mince

Premium lean beef mince is minced fresh in-store each day from whole muscle rather than offcuts, which is what sets it apart from most packaged mince. Lean mince runs around 5 to 8% fat against 15 to 20% for regular, giving around 26g protein per 100g cooked and noticeably less shrinkage as it browns. The trade-off is dryness, so lean mince suits dishes where the meat cooks in a sauce (bolognese, keema, chilli, lasagne) and where you are watching fat for meal prep, while a fattier mince holds together better for burgers. Brown it in a hot, uncrowded pan so it sears rather than stews. Use within two days or freeze on the day of purchase.
