When you say you brought from a butcher a grocery store butcher or a butcher shop? Real beef taste completely different then grocery store beef. A meat shop will source from a grower who raise cows different then cows from commericialy. Beef farms Good grass fed beef not finished off on feed the last couple weeks will taste gamey sometimes. Beef raised in weeds instead of grass will taste really gamey I wonder if that's what your describing . |

Quoting: granny2 I didn't word that good, 2 different places, the butcher shop also had a liver taste to the ground beef. I've never had this taste come through with a higher percentage of fat. Could it also be blood not being drained from the beef making it so red? The cheap one is red like I have never seen before. |

Above just being absolute crap grade of meat and other by products, that squeeze tube full of pink goo is amalgamated between so many farms across the country that there is no hope of quality controlling it, tracking it to a specific producer for e-coli, etc, etc. I've cooked that before it is not like the type on the styrofoam tray wit the cellophane over it - It is gross I think it is "pink slime" |

User ID: 70736097 United States12/04/2016 08:34 PM  Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Totally lean ground beef will have a much different taste than something that's 80-85% lean for example. It's the fat that adds what we'd call "taste". Go to a really good steak joint. I guarantee that the steak you rave about is one that is "well marbled" with fat before it's broiled. As to the dye, that's a sign of a crappy place to buy meat; they make it look fresh when it's not.

I've eaten many hamburgers in my day. But what I am trying to get across is that along with that grinding comes the reality that in that one tube there are grindings from 1000 different farms across 40+ different states - so you are taking your chances. And that is just with normal hamburger. That pink play doughy crap in the tube you were referring to god knows what that is and where it comes from. I cooked that for some people at a BBQ and it didn't even resemble real meat to me. If I was to eat meat I'd go to the local quality butcher and procure it there, that is just my opinion. |

I am pretty sure that's what you're tasting when you say it's "like liver". IOW, probably fresher with a higher blood content than you are used to consuming. I'm betting it was not aged long enough before grinding. Just a guess ;) Next time, try some ground chuck for your burgers. You can thank me later, lol |

The little more expensive than the cheapest tastes like beef. Does lean meat always taste like liver? Quoting: Anonymous Coward 9066334 You might have got some cultured fetus |

User ID: 69561889 United States12/04/2016 09:21 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | The liver taste is iron. Iron comes from blood, not lean meat. The iron taste probably means the meat was processed so fast that it was still full of blood. If you want good ground beef, forget the 96% lean. The fat gives it the flavor you are looking for. Cook the fat out, instead of paying the higher price for the "too lean" meat. 90% is usually cheaper and tastes better. Your best bet is to find a rancher than grows his own, and grains them for months instead of days. A steer that is finished on grain for 3 months will be so tender and flavorful you will have a hard time going back to store bought meat. A commercial beef cow goes through a feed lot in a week or less. The good cuts should have yellow marbling, but you rarely see that in a supermarket. Hope for the best, but prepare for the worst.

Our grass fed is not gritty by any means and I enjoy its flavor. It is lower fat. I also enjoy that it lacks a pharmacy based preparation. From a local family growing a couple a year. One problem with an extremely low fat (96% lean) burger is that it will not hold together as a hamburger. If yours is it is not 96% lean. Or it has a strange additive. |

User ID: 73435446 United States12/05/2016 09:56 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Ground chuck is the ultimate ground beef especially for burgers. Chuck has the flavor and comes 80-20 (20% fat...which you need for flavor). You're wasting your time and money on any other type of ground beef, in my opinion.
