For those of you that might not be familiar, tallow an a fantastic fat source on the keto diet. Tallow is essentially beef fat that has been rendered to a point where it is shelf stable. It adds a ton of flavor to anything you cook in it. Personally, I like to use it when cooking foods that benefit from a "beefy" flavor, like eggs. If you are looking for a way to utilize you fat trimming, and create a delicious fat source, then this recipe is for you.
