Question

Has anyone had the issue where they buy lean beef either 93% lean or higher, but there’s still a lot of grease when you brown it? It worries me that they maybe packaged it wrong or something, and it’ll screw up my points.  

Answer 1

I always drain my ground meat after browning. But I just thought that the amount of grease kinda indicates the fat content. So if I’m buying lean beef, it just seems like it shouldn’t have that much grease.

@nonego sometimes what appears to be fat is just the juices , esp if it’s been ore friozen . unless you intend to eat the whole pan yourself it wouldn’t take have a negative effect

Answer 2

When you're done cooking it wash it off with hot water. Gets rid of the grease.

Answer 3

You can also rinse it in hot water. I’ve done it many times & it doesn’t hurt flavor

Answer 4

I always put it in a colander after browning it and run hot water on it for a few seconds. Gets rid of most of the grease

Answer 5

Not really, there's only alittle in the pan.
