Worth knowing about beef

Shredded meat is beef that has been ground through a meat grinder on a fine setting. Lean, sinew-free, sometimes filet-like parts from the shoulder or leg are processed. Also referred to as tartar – the question “What is tartar?” answers the EDEKA meat expert in detail – the high quality is the main difference between shaved meat and minced meat. The fat content is very low at six to seven percent, so the beef has few calories and is a good choice for the figure-conscious.

Purchasing and storage

Especially if you want to eat raw beef, you should pay close attention to freshness when shopping. Like any ground meat, the increased surface makes it susceptible to germs and spoils easily. You should no longer eat greyish, sweet-smelling meat. At the butcher and at the meat counter in the supermarket, scraped meat must be sold by law on the day it is made. Transport the delicacy in a cool bag, put it in the fridge immediately at home, and eat the tartare on the same day.
