I bought medium ground beef when I intended to buy lean beef. I don't want to consume that amount of fat.

Suppose I fry the meat then add tomatoes (on the way to a Bolognese sauce), cool the result overnight in the fridge, and then discard the fat on top (which would be 100% saturated, I presume). Would I have discarded the majority of the fat?

Update

Relevant ideas can be found here and there.

Mixing with sauce is problematic as the fat will mix with the sauce.

Fry just the meat slowing and break it up very fine. While hot strain it in a metal colander. You can even pat dry with paper towels.

Then mix with cooked sauce. It will not be as good but you saved the meat.

Even if you buy lean fat will drain.
