What to look for in beef mince

Looking to buy mince beef? You don't have to settle for cheap, supermarket mixtures. To produce the best possible culinary results, you want to choose quality mince. Lower quality beef mince products can be full of undesirable amounts of fat.

The first thing to understand about beef mince is just how important it is for sustainability. Trimmings and secondary cuts make up approximately 40% of a beef carcass — a lot of which will inevitably be turned into mince. If we weren't mincing beef, we might be wasting millions of tonnes of meat a year.

At Peter Bouchier, we only use high-quality meat to produce our beef mince. Our grass-fed beef cuts are sourced from farms in New South Wales and Victoria and ground here, in-house.

Here are some other great reasons why whole muscle cuts make the best mince meat:

  • Unfamiliar cuts can be difficult to cook for laypeople, while mince is easy.
  • Minced tough cuts make for easier eating and greater satisfaction.
  • Mincing different cuts can yield different degrees of net fat for different recipes.

Frequently asked questions

Does beef mince contain offcuts?

Fortunately, all Australian beef mince is legally allowed to come only from 100% muscle meat. You won't find any tongue, tripe, or other undesirables hiding in your beef mince. All Australian beef mince needs to be labelled with:

  • Fat grading — if it claims to be lean mince
  • The presence of organ meats
  • The use of fillers, binders, or extenders

It's always best to buy quality beef mince from a reputable seller who grinds their own mince in-house, like Peter Bouchier.

What's the difference between ground beef and beef mince?

The difference is etymological. North American countries like Canada and the United States 'grind' their beef. In Britain and other Commonwealth countries, beef is 'minced'.

How long does certified organic beef mince last?

Gone are the days of using harmful powders and preservatives to give ground beef a long shelf life. If you buy our beef mince fresh in-store, we recommend using it within two days. If ordered online, check the packaging for our recommended use-by date.

How do I tell beef mince is off?

Packaged beef mince that is browning or greying on the sides, on top, or all the way through may have gone off. Otherwise, you can tell beef mince is off with a simple sniff test. If mince beef smells sour or off, it may be spoiled.

What are some safety tips for handling beef mince?

Food safety must be a priority when handling ground beef and beef mince. Minced meat has a greater surface area than most other cuts of meat; that surface area presents a greater risk of bacterial penetration.

Here are some tips to follow when preparing beef mince for consumption:

  • Beef mince cannot be eaten rare. It must be thoroughly cooked through to 71 degrees Celsius.
  • Refrigerate or freeze beef mince as soon as you get home from the shops, and right up until you begin the cooking process.
  • Always keep raw mince separate from other raw foods in the fridge.
  • Fully defrost frozen beef mince before consuming.
  • Always use separate chopping boards for preparing mince and other items.
  • Never let beef mince juices or marinades come into contact with other foods not being consumed at the same time.

For beef mince that has to be cooked and stored, follow these instructions:

  • Cool the mince as quickly as possible and store it in the fridge.
  • Consume the leftover mince within three days.
  • Never reheat the leftover mince more than once.

The master butchers at Peter Bouchier are dedicated to food safety and responsible service, so you can be sure the meat delivered to you will be perfectly safe.
