Perfect for making beef jerky

Found bones, peas and hard black pieces in meat.

Overpriced& definitely not 90/10 probaly morw like 83/17

90% ground beef It’s perfect for healthy eating perfect for slicing for hamburger patties breaking down to 1 pound packages freezing for future use long as they keep the price low. I will continue to keep buying it perfect for stocking my freezer..

I bought this very recently and paid the higher price for the 90% lean. I'm currently browning it for a recipe and my pan is half-full of beef fat grease. I'm familiar with how 90% lean cooks up and this is not 90% lean. Don't waste your money. See the included pic. That's about 6 pounds of meat and a ton of melted beef fat. 90% lean? That's closer to 80/20 or even 75/25.

Normally when I buy this I love it and would give it 5 stars. But this time I don't even want to eat it. Out of the 10 pounds I bought, probably 8 pounds had bone bits in it. Nothing worse than biting into bone with your meal. While there wasn't a lot of grease (thankfully!), there were a lot of gristle and fat bits that wouldn't render down in almost every bite. I don't know what happened during the making of this, but I really don't even want to eat it. I bought this in April 2024, it is now July 2024, and I still have at least 5 pounds from this chub left. I find myself avoiding meals with hamburger so I won't have to eat bone, gristle, or fat chunks. So disappointed.

I have always been happy with the low fat content when I buy the 90% or 93% lean. There is no way, this is what it was labeled. The quality and fat content say more along the lines of 80% lean. It's only halfway browned and is already swimming in fat as the picture proves.

It seems the weight on the label doesn’t exactly match the weight when portioned. For example, 9 lb package portioned into 1 lbs. I end up with about 8 lbs 10 oz. I zero out the scale to remove the bags from the weight. Maybe my digital scan is off, but hard to believe it’s off by that much.

For us, this is a couple month’s worth of ground beef. Cut into dinner size portions and freeze. I always make a few with taco seasoning mixed in. When using in a recipe; brown the meat briefly for flavor, but add liquid ingredients when the meat is still mostly pink. The hamburger will be more tender and won’t be as pebbly.
