so people say that ground beef is fatter, but why is that so? Thanks !
In: Biology
When you grind for making patties or sausages, you aim for a specific fat content and mix lean and fat meat to reach that desired fat content. When you grill a hamburger patty, a very lean one tends to dry out faster, while grilling a steak can be done with leaner meat. So to get a juice burger, you need more fat in it.
That said, most of the fat in the really fatty fast food burgers comes from the mayo they are slathered in.
