What to Do with That Beef Tallow
There are many ways to use the entire jar of tallow you added to your last order of grass fed and finished beef online. From basting a whole chicken to seasoning a cast-iron skillet, a jar of tallow can replace butter, oil, and more in the kitchen without missing a beat. With these ideas, you’ll fall in love with tallow and want a fresh jar with every order of grass fed meats.
Baste a Whole Chicken
Warm your pure grass fed beef tallow first so it’s easier to work with, then use a basting brush to coat a whole chicken before it goes in the oven. It melts quickly and coats evenly, helping the skin turn golden and crisp without drying out the meat underneath.
Fry Chicken Tenders or Finger Steaks
Heat a few spoonfuls in a deep pan for a shallow fry that skips the mess of a deep fryer. It's a good middle ground for crisp, fried chicken tenders or finger steaks from your online order of grass fed steak. You’ll also be able to get more flavor from the meat, instead of a mouthful of vegetable oil.
Add Savory Flavor to Homemade Sourdough
Use it the same way you'd use butter or another fat in a homemade sourdough recipe. It folds into the dough easily and leaves a subtle, savory note that other fats won’t.

Lend More Richness to Soup Broths
A spoonful or two of tallow stirred into a pot of soup, stew, or homemade ramen broth adds richness to both the flavor and the texture. It's a small step that makes a big difference once the weather cools down and heartier meals are back on the table.
Season a Cast Iron Skillet
Rub a thin layer onto a cast-iron skillet to develop its seasoning between uses. This works best for a skillet in daily use, since frequent use helps prevent the oil from going rancid. It's a smart trick for camping trips, too, when the same skillet gets used again and again over a short stretch because it gives your meals more flavor.
