Beef suet

[Thehowler]

Yes, finally tipped one over.
You guys have given me several great ideas, and the wife and I decided to try them all.
This year we’re buying a grinder instead of paying a butcher. Being a pandemic year and all.

I mix whole pork shoulder in with my venison burger. I buy pork butts, trim the outside fat off and chunk them up and grind with the venison. Depending on what I plan to use the ground meat for I'll mix between 15% and 25% by weight.

The wife and I have just enjoyed Moose Tacos and we are both very happy, that we did not add anything to the meat, but Moose. So far the burgers, Tacos, Loaf and anything else that we make with the ground Moose has been great. Just the your choice. I quit adding any fat to my grind. My choice. Enjoy whatever you decide to do.

I prefer my deer burgers with beef suet.
Safeway saves me some if I ask.

Our local Safeway packages beef suet during Oct and Nov and saves it for hunters. Gives it for free.

A little fat helps hold the meat together when you cook burgers.

A couple saltine crackers crunched up and an egg will help make a patty that holds together too

A beef suit would be awesome camo for wolf hunting. I  would like to order horned hereford if someone is making them.

I use pork butt at a 10% ratio.  Had bad luck using beef suet.

We use pork shoulder roast. 3 or 4 chunks of deer, chunk of pork...turns out amazing! Grind on coarse plate first, and re grind everything on the medium plate. Turns out magical.

Am I the only one coming to this thread looking for an awesome picture?

No.  I too clicked it to see an awesome suit made of beef.  Apparently op meant suet.

I fixed it. Sorry to ruin the party. I got mislead by hopes of a guy in an awesome suit made of beef too.

I learned a method years ago from Mike (butcher in Union, OR) the butcher. I really liked his burger so I asked him what his mix was. He said to take 80% lean venison and 20% top sirloin or chuck roast. Mix together and grind. Comes out to about a 7% fat content and the burger is awesome!  Holds together great for burgers, but isn't very greasy for tacos. Enjoy!

So does pork or  an egg or two.

Go to cash and carry and get pork butts.  I mix 2/3 deer to 1/3 pork.  This year I had 120 lbs. of boned out venison.  Bought 60 pounds of Pork Butts and it was perfect.  Perfect burger with just enough fat to keep it from sticking and holds burgers together but not enough that you need to drain your browned burger.

I cut 1000's of lbs of jerky meat a year and I save all the fat from that for when I'm processing pepperoni and summer sausage. This year I bought an entire angus to split with a couple families and I saved all of the fat from that guy.

I have ground bacon bits in and it works great except there are things you want to use burger for and not taste like smoky bacon.

I've been reluctant to use regular (uncured) pork as I like burgers in the medium rare or a bit lighter and even though pork is pretty safe these days it always crosses my mind.
