Gourmet Lean Beef Mince

The Gourmet Lean Beef Mince

The perfect balance of health and high-end flavor. Our Gourmet Lean Mince is the premier choice for those who want to eat well without compromising on taste. Hand-trimmed from the finest Australian beef cuts—typically the heart of the round or topside—this mince is exceptionally lean while remaining naturally tender. It’s the ideal protein for nutrient-dense meals, offering a clean, beefy finish that won't leave your pan swimming in excess oil.

The Butcher’s Tip: Precision Moisture Management

Because this mince has a very low fat content, it can dry out if overcooked. To keep it succulent, especially in stir-fries or "naked" burger bowls, cook it quickly over a medium-high heat and remove it from the stove just as the last traces of pink disappear. If you’re using it in a dry dish, a splash of beef stock or a teaspoon of olive oil can help maintain that silky mouthfeel.

The most important step: Seasoning is key with lean cuts. Since fat usually carries the flavor, don't be afraid to be generous with your sea salt, cracked pepper, or fresh herbs. Adding these right at the end of the browning process ensures the flavors stay bright and the meat remains juicy.

Bonus Butcher's Tip: The "Juicy Lean Meatball" Trick

Worried about lean meatballs or koftas becoming too firm? Use the "Grated Veg" secret:

The Add-in: Before rolling your meatballs, fold in half a cup of finely grated zucchini or carrot (with the excess moisture squeezed out).

The Magic: The vegetables disappear during cooking, but their natural moisture creates internal "steam" that keeps the lean beef incredibly soft and juicy.

The Result: You get a nutrient-packed, low-fat meatball that has the tender texture of a much fattier cut.
