It depends on what type of Burger you want. It could be made from top sirloin, it could be from ground chuck,

An angus burger is only a marketing ploy. Burger is pretty much burger(except for fat content). Beef is quality graded according to fat(the more the better). It is graded by the marbled fat in the REA or ribeye area. Yeah they can grind up any type of steer or heifer that is 51% black and call it angus, but a true testament to "angus" would be eating any loin or middle meat from a true angus steer that was slaughtered around 17 months old, and quality graded either usda chioce or prime. BTW, angus is just a breed of cattle. Usually you can only find true prime angus at finer steakhouses(not outback), or really upscale grocery stores.

There are several things you might be interested in regarding Angus burgers...
- In order for beef to qualify as Angus it only has to have a hide that is 51% black. Technically speaking, a Holstein (black and white dairy cattle) can qualify as Angus if the hide is >50% black.
- A burger generally comes from what is known as trim, which is typically a combination of meat from "primal" (muscle) cuts and fat. The parts are generally the "chucks" and "rounds" as middle meats (steak cuts) command higher prices.
- The percentage of fat varies widely. Most common of 75% meat and 25% fat. It is cheaper because of the fat content, but popular because fat contributes to the taste.
- If you're trying to determine if "undersireable parts" (similar to hot dogs) are used, the answer is generally no.
As a point of interest, it is a good odea to ensure that all ground beef is cooked to 165 degrees (medium well). It will ensure that should e-coli be present in the meat, it is killed and safe to consume.
