Beef tallow is rendered beef fat used for frying, roasting, searing and baking. Its savory flavor makes it a useful choice for home cooks and restaurant kitchens that want an alternative cooking fat.
Here are eight practical reasons to cook with beef tallow, plus what to consider before choosing a jar, bucket or bulk box.
1. Savory Flavor
Beef tallow adds a savory note to potatoes, meat and vegetables. Use it when that flavor suits the dish; a neutral cooking oil may suit other recipes better.
2. A Traditional Fat for Frying
Use melted tallow for beef tallow French fries or fried chicken. A thermometer helps you control frying temperature. Avoid overheating the fat and never add water to hot cooking fat.
3. Useful for Roasting
Toss vegetables with a little melted tallow before roasting. Try our tallow roasted mixed vegetables recipe for a savory side dish.
4. Suitable for Searing and Sautéing
Melt a small amount in a pan for searing meat or sautéing vegetables. Adjust the heat for the food and pan you are using; reduce it if the fat begins to smoke.
5. A Simple Ingredient Option
TallowRise pure beef suet tallow contains no added seed oils, preservatives or additives. Check the label when comparing products: pure beef tallow and a tallow shortening blend have different ingredients.
6. An Option for Halal-Conscious Kitchens
