What part of the cattle does ground beef come from?

Question

Is it Chuck? Flank? Briskit? etc

Answer 1

ground beef is the left over trimmings from when meat is cut and de fatted.We then take the scraps and put them in a machine that makes ground beef

Answer 2

Varieties

Ground beef comes mostly from the chuck, sirloin, and round, though the taste depends more on the amount of fat than on the cut of origin. The fat content of ground beef varies, so it’s important to check the label for this information. A higher fat content makes for a juicy hamburger. For a casserole, where the hamburger is cooked and the fat poured off, a lower-fat ground beef might be a better choice.

Regular ground beef usually contains 25% fat by weight.

Lean ground beef usually contains 10% fat by weight.

Extra-lean ground beef usually contains 5% fat by weight.

Answer 3

Hamburg is made from scrapes of meat that can't be used for anything else. Ground chuck, is the part that is usually made into roast, Ground steak is ground steak, usually the round steak. It's ran through a meat grinder and packed according to what it is (hopefully, at least)

Answer 4

If it's lean ground beef, it comes from the whole cow, minus the feet and head. For not so lean stuff, they toss every thing in and chop it up real fine.
I thank CJ for learning how to do this part.
