Ever looked at your burger and wondered....How many cows are in this burger?
Well, now you will.
The answer...hundreds! I know, it's disgusting.
As consumers we purchase more beef than poultry or chicken. It is a cheaper product, especially ground beef.
Did you know that if you drain and rinse regular ground beef after it has been cooked, you can lower the fat content so that it is equally matched to cooked lean ground beef? Just drain and rinse with hot water! Tastes the same, just much lower in fat.
You can also significantly lower the fat in other cuts of beef by trimming off all excess fat. I do this already because I hate the look of the white death edging a nice cut of steak.
Some people like the fat, they say it's tasty! Really? It sits on your internal organs and suffocates them. Yuck.
So, I'm not saying to give up beef.
I'm saying keep it lean, and buy locally if you can.
Happy Beef Eating!
