What is beef tallow?? Beef tallow is a rendered form of beef fat that is solid at room temperature... It used to be one of the primary cooking fats that we used before vegetable oils became marketed as a “healthier fat”… To make beef tallow, beef fat is heated to melt the fat and separate it from any remaining connective tissues or impurities. Once the fat has been rendered, it is allowed to cool and solidify. Beef tallow has a high smoke point, which makes it suitable for frying and deep-frying
