Best ground beef for hamburgers. So my all time favorite burger in LA is at Stout Burger in Hollywood. I would love to replicate it at home but apparently they use a mix of different cuts of beef that they do not disclose. So it got me thinking there is a lot of info on the web but mostly says do what you want.

So for those of you who make their own burgers from scratch what cuts of meet do you use and why. An entire beef carcass will yield about 15-20 of its weight in trimmings. At my shop we grind three different types of ground beef.

80 lean ground chuck 85 lean ground round and 90 lean ground sirloin. Each type is made of trimmings from that specific primal cut. 80 lean ground chuck shoulder will be the juiciest and most flavorful.
