Why is Dakota Angus ground beef 85/15?
Because that’s where flavor lives.
Could we make it leaner? Absolutely.
But we’d also be giving up some of the juiciness and rich beef flavor that make a great burger.
That 15% fat does important work:
🍔 Keeps burgers juicy.
🍔 Creates better flavor.
🍔 Helps hold the patty together.
🍔 Gives you that perfect sear on the grill.
As it cooks, some of that fat naturally renders away, leaving a burger that’s flavorful—not greasy.
We believe 85/15 is the sweet spot.
Lean enough for everyday meals. Rich enough to make you want another bite.
That’s why it’s the blend we proudly put our name on.
