What is it? Ground beef comes from the tougher and less popular cuts of beef, and the trimmings left over when sides of beef are carved into steaks and roasts. Grinding tenderizes the meat. You can also ask your butcher to grind meat from a particular cut of beef, such as a chuck roast or even sirloin.

What's the difference between "ground beef" and "hamburger?" According to U.S. Department of Agriculture guidelines, extra beef fat may be added to "hamburger" but not "ground beef," if the meat is ground and packaged at a USDA-inspected plant. A maximum of 30 percent fat by weight is allowed in either hamburger or ground beef.
