Cut OverviewAbout This Cut

Mince is ground from a blend of cuts. It cooks fast and works in a thousand dishes. Because it is ground, it must be cooked to 71°C internal for food safety.

Tip: Press the mince flat in a hot dry pan and leave it alone for 4 minutes before breaking it up. That first crust is where the flavour lives.

Certification covers the farm and its cattle. The local processor that cuts and packs the beef isn't a certified organic facility, so packs can't carry the certified organic label. Same cattle, same paddocks - organically raised, cut and packed locally in Central QLD.
