First time making beef tallow – am I doing it right?
Doing the cold water boil method, used beef suet i got from the locker when I bought 1/4 beef.
Does this look right? Most videos I see have crispy bits by now
Thanks

Did you stir it?

It’s hard to tell, but what lean to fat ratio did you get? Is the meat grass or corn fed? The muscle is tougher when grass fed, so the tissues between the fat may be taking a little longer to break into their individual compounds. Ill admit, ive never made talo, but i know alot about lard, bouillon, and bone broths/related reasons to boil bones, and it’s important to remember that cooking is basically alchemy mixed with biochemistry- or just chemistry overall. So if you cant find answers by looking for cooking tips, you can always look for information about protein denaturing for beef.

It’s pretty hard to do it wrong. Cook it until you’re tired of it, strain it and be done

Its not so much about the cooking as it is the next process of resting, checking, cooking again until you are solid and get rid of all moisture.

If you let it cool to a comfortable temperature and drink at least 3 mouthfuls of it I will upvote this post. Deal?
