Farm-Raised, Single-Source, Indiana Angus.\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n  \u003cp\u003eMost ground beef at the grocery store is a commodity blend — trimmings from dozens of animals across multiple states, processed by one of four giant packing companies that control 84% of the U.S. beef supply. You have no idea where it came from, and the flavor proves it. Watery in the pan. Bland on the plate. Somehow still expensive.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003cp\u003eOurs is different. Defiance Beef ground beef is made from our own Angus-influenced cattle, raised on our family farm in Wanatah, Indiana and blended from premium trimmings across multiple primals — chuck, round, and plate — for a rich, balanced 80\/20 fat ratio that delivers full, clean beef flavor in everything from a weeknight burger to a Sunday bolognese. You'll notice the difference the first time you brown it. No water in the pan. No gray color. Just beef that tastes the way beef is supposed to.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003cp\u003eVacuum sealed in 1 lb portions. Five pounds total per order. Ships frozen and keeps for 12+ months in your freezer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003c!-- WHAT TO COOK --\u003e\n  \u003cdiv class=\"db-cut-section\"\u003eWhat to Cook With It\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n  \u003cdiv class=\"db-cut-how\"\u003e\n    \u003cdiv class=\"db-cut-how-item\"\u003e\n      \u003cdiv class=\"db-cut-how-title\"\u003eBurgers\u003c\/div\u003e\n      \u003cdiv class=\"db-cut-how-text\"\u003e80\/20 is the perfect burger ratio. Don't overwork the meat — form loosely, season the outside only, cook to 160°F. Cast iron or charcoal grill. The fat content keeps them juicy without falling apart.\u003c\/div\u003e\n    \u003c\/div\u003e\n    \u003cdiv class=\"db-cut-how-item\"\u003e\n      \u003cdiv class=\"db-cut-how-title\"\u003eBolognese\u003c\/div\u003e\n      \u003cdiv class=\"db-cut-how-text\"\u003eBrown in batches — don't crowd the pan.
