ground round

Lean hamburger cut

Ground round is ground beef made from the round—a lean cut from the rear leg of the cow.

It has less fat than regular ground beef, making it a common choice for health-conscious cooks: I use ground round for burgers when I'm watching my fat intake.

The leanness can make it drier than fattier grinds.
