Fresh Halal British Angus Beef Mince 30% Fat - Red Tractor Approved

Fresh halal British beef mince, produced in the UK from Beef Meat and fixed at a 70% lean / 30% fat ratio. Certified Halal and non-stunned, it's sold in 500G, 1KG, 2KG or 4KG packs for chillies, bolognese, burgers and weeknight meals.

Is 30% fat mince different from OMS's other grades?

It's the 30% Fat grade, the richest end of a range from 5% Fat up to 20-25% Fat. The grades aren't ranked by quality - you pick one for the dish. Leaner grades like 10% Fat suit dishes where you don't want rendered fat; this one suits slow-simmered and grilled dishes.

How to cook this mince

Brown it hard in a dry pan - at 30% fat it renders its own, so no extra oil is needed for a chilli or a bolognese. For a steak-night alternative, shape it into patties for a smash-burger. Butcher's tip: drain off fat for a leaner sauce.

How much to order

It's sold in 500G, 1KG, 2KG or 4KG packs, not as a single piece. Choose the size for how many meals you're planning - the 4KG pack suits batch-cooking, and it defrosts in 12 hours from frozen.
