An uncooked ground beef meat product comprising frozen particles of ground, extruded, frozen and comminuted meat. The meat product is produced by a process including the steps of grinding, extruding the ground product into strands, quick freezing the strands, and breaking the strands into small particles in the frozen state in a size range on the order of .750 to .125 inches linear dimension. The meat product may be stored in a frozen state and portions subdivided from a bulk quantity without exposing the unused portion to thawing. Thaw times for the portions to be cooked are substantially reduced and fluid and weight loss in the meat product up to the cooking step is virtually nil. |
