About Beef trim

Beef trim refers to small pieces and trimmings cut from beef during butchery or processing, rather than one anatomical cut. The pieces can vary in size, shape, lean-to-fat ratio, and connective tissue. Their colour and beef flavour resemble other raw beef, but the texture and richness depend on the particular trim.

It is commonly ground, formed into products, or used in cooked preparations where irregular pieces are suitable. Trim may be sold as lean, fatty, or mixed material, and the term alone does not specify a consistent composition or intended use. Products made from trim may also contain added ingredients, so the label and processing determine what the item represents.
