Naturally Nutrient-Rich

It’s easier than you think to build a healthful diet with beef. You may be surprised to hear that a 3-oz serving of lean beef (about the size of a deck of cards), has about 150 calories on average and is a good or excellent source of 10 essential nutrients like zinc, iron and B vitamins.

Freezing Ground Beef

• Place ground beef in a plastic bag and flatten it, increasing the surface area of the meat so it's easier to freeze and later defrost.
• Once you flatten the ground beef, the bags become easy to stack.
• Thawing meat in hot water may lead to food-borne illnesses. In the refrigerator, place raw or thawing beef in a container or on a dish that will prevent juices from dripping onto other foods.
• Leftover cooked beef, when refrigerated, can be eaten within 3 to 4 days, but can last up to 3 months when frozen.

Cooking and Handling Safety

• When handling raw meat, use separate cutting board and wash both the board and your hands after you are done. Use a disinfectant to clean all surfaces.
• Never put cooked beef back on the same plate you used for raw meat and don't leave cooked food sitting out more than two hours.
• Use a thermometer to prevent undercooking. To maintain your family's health, always cook ground beef to a minimum of 160 degrees.
