Tasted quite nice, and when cooked hardly any fat was released. I would buy it again.

Extra lean mince is a healthy, high-protein option with around 5% fat, making it ideal for lighter meals and meal prep. It cooks cleanly with less grease but can be slightly drier and less flavourful than regular mince. Best suited to sauces or seasoned dishes where moisture and richness can be added.

Louisa ✓

Great quality beef mince, very lean, you couldn’t see any big chunks of fat in it. Deep red colour too with no brown parts. Used it to make beef pasties and mixing the beef with seasonings and veggies was super easy. Delicious and great value for money!

My Guy ✓

amazing source of protein without the kcals. easy to cook and often available. good value!

Scar ✓

good mince, some times the sizing can be off but over all great

This Coles brand Extra Lean Beef Mince is nutritious, high in protein and low in fat. I like that it is sourced from Australian cows, so you can trust in its quality. I also like that this mince has a high 5 star health star rating, and has no added hormones, colours, or flavours. This mince tastes great in pasta, chilli, Mexican dishes, and savoury pies. Nutritious, high quality, and versatile. A great buy, 5 stars!

Jacquie Twidale ✓

The quality of this mince is second to none. you pay extra for it but it's high protein and barely any fat when you cook it up.

Tzu-Ying Yang ✓

nice price, acceptably fresh, while whether it's delicious depends on how good the chef is

Maria F Shopper ✓

very lean and good for fitness and health purposes

Jessica Lucic ✓

Decent mince from Coles. Can sometimes leak quite a bit of water but is definitely the best from here

We use minced beef regularly to make meals such as pasta sauce, Mexican tortilla filling and lasagne. I usually buy Coles Extra Lean Beef Mince. As the name suggests, it is a lot lower in fat content than some other minced beef, and I like it because I'm not a fan of fatty meat. It's a couple of dollars more than others but to me it is worth it to not have to strain the fat out of the cooked mince. It is also in a 500g pack, which is the perfect size for almost all the recipes I use it for. I made Mexican style tortillas with it, which were really tasty.

Taste great, works well in bolognese.

Michelle Mae Yu ✓

very yummy and fresh and good beef taste

Vivi T ✓

this 5 star beef mince is great if you’re looking for a lower fat beef mince option. not a high water content either.

For NB ✓

it is always fresh with good quality and the price is good and reasonable.

Card Shopper ✓

Good size for 2-4 people depending on the meal. And also good quality for supermarket beef mince, although not as good as some from a butcher

Christian Zitta ✓

Lean and fresh with very little excess fat, so it cooks cleanly and evenly. Good flavour for a 5 star mince and works well for lighter meals where you don’t want greasiness.

Backy Lam ✓

I like Coles' No Added Hormone Beef 5 Star Extra Trim for its good value and versatile product. I found that fat content is an important part of enjoying some mince meals, such as hamburgers. 5-star doesn’t work for a lot of people, and whether 3-star is better is a personal opinion - the fat adds flavour. I recently did BBQ with this 5-star beef mince and the cleanup was epic in comparison to my preferred 4-star beef mince. Lots of flare-ups and spatters everywhere.

Lenny ✓

Go to choice for my protein meal prep, or even feeding to my dog raw as part of his raw diet. I also like to use for spaghetti Bolognese or taco nights. has a real wide use case, however sad to see the prices have increased as of late.

Jessica Tery ✓

this is perfect for meal prep and great nutritional value. love the taste

Tahren Giles ✓

nice cut of beef mince, with minimal fat but still full of flavour

HAYZE ✓

extra lean one is wonderful i personally don’t like the full ones, i prefer the extra lean as its not as fatty as much as i do enjoy my protein

Ray ✓

Bought this to make pasta sauce, turned out great! Will get again.

Coles No Added Hormone Beef 5 Star Extra Trim Mince is a solid choice for anyone looking for lean, high-quality mince without compromising on flavour. The extra trim makes a noticeable difference — there’s very little excess fat, which means less grease in the pan and cleaner-tasting meals overall. It cooks evenly and holds its texture well, whether you’re using it for bolognese, tacos, burgers, or meal prep. Despite being very lean, it doesn’t dry out easily if cooked properly, and the beef flavour is still rich and satisfying. Knowing it’s made from Australian beef with no added hormones is a big plus, especially for health-conscious shoppers. The price is reasonable for a 5-star mince, particularly when it’s on special, and the quality is consistent compared to cheaper alternatives that can be watery or fatty. Overall, it’s a reliable, versatile mince that’s ideal for everyday cooking, especially if you want lean protein without sacrificing taste.

extremely lean and very easy to use for many different recipes

Suz ✓

Lean and tasty beef mince that is so versatile. Great for using in dishes and delicious for burgers. High quality and delicious!

Trey Kandy ✓

it is the healthiest beef mince with the least fat and 5 stars. it sounds expensive buying lean beef but if you cook at home often, then it pays dividends to your health. it’s better to eat healthy than to buy pills. and it’s fresh.

Jack ✓

our go to mince when cooking. can defintely taste the difference between the regular and extra trim mince. it may cost more, but this is our preference!

Chris Sammons ✓

A good quality mince, which is very versatile which we used in Thai dish with chilli and basil and an Italian dish spaghetti Bolognese.

Julie Heron ✓

Such a great staple to have on hand! It cooks up beautifully with hardly any excess fat and is perfect for everything from spaghetti bolognese to tacos and cottage pie. Always fresh, versatile, and reliable — a go-to choice in our weekly shop.

expensive, but it's nice to not have to worry about draining away excess fat from normal mince

Kimberley Knight ✓
