What drives the grade
Beef (ground, 80% lean meat / 20% fat) carries 90% of the purine in this dish. The grade also counts its 3 g of fructose, as every grade on this site does.
To lower the purines, keep the beef (ground, 80% lean meat / 20% fat) portion small (about a deck of cards), or swap it for a lower-purine protein like eggs, tofu, or low-fat dairy.
