Inspiration Top ways to use premium mince for dinnerTop ways to use premium mince for dinner
Beef mince is the true MVP of the Kiwi family kitchen. It’s super flexible and ready to star in everything from your classic spaghetti bolognese to juicy burgers and hearty cottage pies. In New Zealand, you’ll find it in three tasty tiers, each with its own fat level and price tag.
The top dog? Premium mince. This lean, mean, 5% fat machine usually comes from prime cuts like sirloin or chuck, making it the go-to for anyone wanting flavour without the grease. Perfect for stir-fries or those
We’ve gathered our favourite recipes below that use premium beef mince to perfection.
