Remove fat from hamburger in the kitchen

[MrBilly]

I think this is fascinating. For those who need to watch there total fat, saturated and cholesterol intake, this article describes a technique on how to remove fat from ground beef and other meats. I have read the original paper in the New England Journal of Medicine and this is the real deal.

I have used this method twice and it really works while keeping that good beef flavor. Of course, one could ask, why not just eat grass-fed beef instead? I really do not care for grass-fed. We produce grain fed here, thus we now have a technique if our meat plant doesn't trim the fat like we ask. :banana:

Why not just start with 5-6% fat in the burger for starters?

All's ya got to do is butcher a Limi, nice and tender and lean to start with. No rendering required.

Eat Piedmontese = low fat, low cholesterol, lean - tender - juicy meat naturally.

Well, sorry about that. Looks like maybe the Limis have much in common with the Pieds????
Can't imagine boiling burger in oil to make it healthy!YUK!!

I thought that was called deep fat frying, like french frys.

 

[Red Bull Breeder]

Didn't sound like a good idea to me either CKC. Never had that problem with Limi beef.

Sounds like something Oprah's friends might dream up..... :???:

Kinda perplexing ain't it? There are enough breeds out there that have naturally healthy low fat beef that folks can choose from it makes this kind of stuff sound crazy. I guess we need to do a better job at marketing it??

IF you can get this with well marbled steers and a good butcher, more power to you. Sometimes things just don't work out and you have a bunch of hamburger and this is a way to reduce the fat.

Fat is fat. If you don't want fat raise beef that don't got so much. Several breeds that will do that.

I'm having good success with our angus in the fat department. Perhaps it also has to do with the processing plant not adding extra fat to the meat.

So much of the fat content in hamburger meat comes from the additional fat that is added to the meat to make more pounds. Don't think for a minute that Wally-World or any of the others are having different cows with different fat content. All depends on how much more fat you throw in...

Or you could just buy ground round or ground chuck, very little fat in either of those. No way I would go through all of that to fix something to eat, way too much trouble.

That article is sure outdated. Makes good fodder for the vegetarians, though. Beef is really BAD for you. I think modern research has pretty much blown this out of the water. Just buy the meat with only 5 or 10 percent fat. Problem solved!

Kind of reminds me of the "handy devices" section in the Progressive Farmer magazine. Some of the devices may work, but many of them are obviously untested, and products of overactive imaginations. A farmer can tell at a glance that they can not possibly work as described. But, that's another story for another day.....

Just eat brisket, and don't worry about the fat content. The fat in beef brisket is actually good for you. :cowboy:
