Premium Medium Ground Beef in Montreal
Our medium ground beef is made from premium cuts, so every batch delivers rich flavour and juicy texture. Because we grind fresh at our Laval butcher shop, you get a product that’s never frozen and never pre-packaged. In fact, the medium fat ratio makes this the most versatile ground beef for everyday cooking. Furthermore, our butchers hand-grind each batch, so you get consistent quality every time.
What Makes Our Medium Ground Beef Special?
At Boucherie Beirut, we don’t use trimmings or scraps, so our medium ground beef starts with quality cuts. As a result, you get a cleaner taste and better texture. Moreover, we prioritize sourcing from farms committed to hormone-free and antibiotic-free practices, because we believe quality ground beef starts with quality cattle. Therefore, every batch reflects our commitment to the cleanest beef available.
Fat Ratio & Characteristics
Medium ground beef typically has a lean-to-fat ratio around 70/30, so it delivers more flavour and juiciness than leaner options. Because of this higher fat content, the meat stays moist during cooking. As a result, burgers hold together better and sauces develop a richer body. On top of that, the fat renders during cooking to create a natural depth of flavour. In fact, most chefs prefer medium ground for recipes where juiciness matters most.
How to Cook Your Medium Ground Beef
First, let your medium ground beef come to room temperature for 15 minutes. Then form patties gently without overworking the meat. After that, cook on a hot grill or cast iron for 4 to 5 minutes per side. Subsequently, check the internal temperature reaches 160°F. Finally, let it rest for 3 minutes, because this keeps the juices inside. Also, for meat sauces, brown the beef in batches so it sears rather than steams.
Best Uses for Medium Ground Beef
Medium ground beef is perfect for classic burgers, which benefit from the higher fat content. In addition, it makes rich bolognese and meat sauces. Furthermore, meatballs and meatloaf stay moist and flavourful. For a Middle Eastern touch, try it in kafta kebabs with parsley, onion, and spices.
