Eight ounces of beef fat
I recently purchased an eye of round and ended up with an 8 oz chunk of flaky, white fat after trimming it. Does anyone have any ideas for using it? Should I render it and keep it for cooking potatoes and onions?

Rendering the beef fat is a great idea! You can use the rendered fat (also known as tallow) for cooking potatoes and onions, as it adds a rich flavor. It can also be used for frying, roasting vegetables, or as a base for making gravies and sauces.
If you want to get a bit creative, consider using the rendered fat in other applications too. You could use it for:
- Making homemade soap: Tallow is often used in traditional soap-making.
- Baking: Substitute some of your usual fats in pastry recipes with tallow for a unique flavor.
- Seasoned cast iron cookware: Use it to season your pans, as it can create a nice non-stick surface.
Just be sure to strain the rendered fat through a fine mesh sieve to remove any solid bits before storing it. Enjoy your cooking!
