Description
A simple method to render fresh beef fat for cooking and baking.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 pounds fresh beef fat
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 250 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Be sure to cut your fat into large chunks. There’s no magic size, just as long as it’s not in one big piece.
- Place the fat chunks into an 8×8 baking dish.
- Cook for 3 hours.
- Remove from the oven. Be careful to not burn yourself.
- Pour the liquid from the pan, through a fine strainer, into a pourable measuring cup or bowl.
- Immediately pour the liquid from the bowl/measuring cup into jars and secure the lids.
- Let the fat come to room temperature. Tighten the lids one more time and then place the fat in the refrigerator for 48 hours or until set.
Notes
- This rendered fat can be used for frying or as a flavoring for various dishes.
- Ensure that the fat is completely cooled before sealing the jars.
