About Our Beef Fat
Fresh beef fat is one of the most useful and most overlooked things on the counter. Rendered down low and slow it becomes tallow - a clean, stable cooking fat that fries chips and roasts potatoes better than almost anything else, and keeps for months. It is the traditional cooking fat, and it costs a fraction of bottled oil per use.
It has other jobs too: wrapped around a lean roast it bastes the meat and stops it drying, and worked into mince it adds the moisture that makes a juicy burger or a tender kofta. Ask us for suet from around the kidney if you want the firm, best-quality fat for pastry and puddings.
How to Cook Beef Fat
- Dice small and render on the lowest heat until the liquid fat runs clear, then strain - that is tallow.
- Store rendered tallow in a jar; it keeps for months and fries beautifully.
- Wrap a thin sheet around a lean roast to bard it and keep it moist.
- Work a little into lean mince for juicier burgers and koftas.
- Ask for firm kidney suet if you are making pastry or puddings.
