Why You Should Be Cooking With Carnivore Society Beef Tallow

Many home cooks rely on processed oils that break down under high heat, leaving food greasy and lacking in flavour. Over time, this can take the joy out of cooking and compromise the quality of your meals.

If you want to bring back rich taste, perfect textures, and a healthier cooking fat, there is a better choice. Carnivore Society’s beef tallow is pure, flavoursome, and nutrient-rich, making it ideal for everything from searing steaks to roasting vegetables. It is the upgrade your kitchen has been waiting for.

What is Beef Tallow?

Beef tallow is a traditional cooking fat made by slowly rendering down beef suet or fat until it becomes a smooth, creamy substance. For generations, it was a staple in kitchens because of its rich flavour, high smoke point, and versatility.

Unlike processed oils, quality beef tallow contains no additives, making it a pure and wholesome option. Carnivore Society’s beef tallow is made from 100% Australian, hormone-free beef, ensuring every jar is clean and full of natural goodness.

It is perfect for frying, roasting, baking, or adding depth to sauces, bringing a delicious, old-fashioned quality back to modern cooking.

Best Ways to Use Carnivore Society Beef Tallow in Cooking

Carnivore Society beef tallow is incredibly versatile, lending rich flavour and perfect textures to countless dishes. Here are some of the best ways to make it shine in your kitchen.

1. Frying and Searing Meats

Beef tallow’s high smoke point makes it ideal for frying and searing without burning or breaking down when you use it for steaks, burgers, or lamb chops. The fat locks in juices while creating a beautiful crust.

The subtle beefy flavour enhances the natural taste of the meat without overpowering it. Simply heat a spoonful in a heavy pan until shimmering, then add your meat. The result is tender inside, golden and crisp outside, and packed with flavour.

It is a method that delivers restaurant-quality results at home, and once you try it, regular cooking oils will feel like a step down.

2. Roasting Vegetables to Perfection

Using beef tallow for roasting vegetables gives them a richness and depth that olive oil cannot match. The high smoke point means you can roast at higher temperatures, achieving caramelised edges and a soft, flavourful centre.

Simply melt the tallow, toss your vegetables until lightly coated, and season as you like. Root vegetables like potatoes, carrots, and parsnips develop an irresistible golden crust, while greens such as Brussels sprouts and broccoli gain a slightly nutty, savoury edge.

The tallow also helps the seasoning stick, ensuring every bite is well-flavoured. It is an easy way to take weeknight vegetables from ordinary to unforgettable with minimal effort.

3. Making Flaky Pastries and Pies

Beef tallow may not be the first fat you think of for baking, but it creates incredibly flaky and tender pastry. Its solid texture at room temperature works beautifully for shortcrusts, savoury pies, and even biscuits.

Replace part or all of the butter or shortening in your recipe with tallow, and you will notice the dough is easier to work with and bakes to a lovely golden finish. The mild savoury flavour pairs perfectly with meat pies and sausage rolls, adding a richness that butter alone cannot provide.

Whether you are making a hearty steak pie or a rustic galette, beef tallow can be your secret ingredient for bakery-quality results.

4. Deep Frying Chips and Fried Chicken

For deep frying, beef tallow is a game-changer. Its high smoke point allows you to maintain the right temperature for crisp, golden results without the burnt taste that comes from overheated oils.

It produces fries that are light, crispy, and full of flavour, while fried chicken turns out with a perfectly crunchy coating and moist interior. Many chefs favour tallow for its clean finish and ability to hold up over multiple frying sessions.

To use, simply heat your tallow to the recommended frying temperature, cook your food in small batches, and enjoy that satisfying crunch and rich flavour that only tallow can provide.

5. Adding to Stews and Gravies for Depth

A spoonful of beef tallow can transform stews, soups, and gravies. Adding it early in the cooking process infuses your dish with a deep, savoury richness. In stews, it blends with other ingredients to create a silky texture and full-bodied flavour, while in gravies, it adds shine and depth without making the sauce greasy.

It is particularly good in slow-cooked recipes where the gentle heat allows the tallow to meld with herbs, spices, and meat juices. Just a small amount can elevate a simple dish into something more indulgent and satisfying.

It is a simple trick that professional chefs use, now available to every home cook.
