The US Department of Agriculture recommends choosing lean meats to minimize your saturated fat intake. Whenever possible choose leaner ground chuck such as 90 93 or 95 percent lean over the fattier 80 percent version
By using healthy cooking methods you can further reduce the fat content of your beef. When cooking hamburgers use a grill that allows fat to drain from the meat as it cooks.
After cooking loose ground chuck rinse it to remove excess oil before adding it to tacos or casseroles.
