Ground beef is produced from trimmings across multiple cuts, most commonly chuck, round, and sirloin. The fat percentage varies by blend — 80/20 (chuck) is ideal for burgers, while leaner blends suit sauces and meatballs. It is the most widely consumed beef product globally and the foundation of dishes ranging from Bolognese to tacos to shepherd's pie.
