Equipment
- Large pot
- Strainer
- Sharp knife
Ingredients
- 4 pound Beef Suet
- 3 cups water
Instructions
- Cut the beef fat into small pieces about 1 1/2 to 2 inches in size. If you have a meat grinder or a food processor you can grind up chunks of fat to make them even smaller.
- Place the pieces of fat into a large stock pot. Add 2-3 cups of water to the pot. Place over a medium heat and allow to come to a low simmer. The pieces of fat will begin melting. Stir the boiling mixture to ensure that all the fat has melted.
- Once melted, use a slotted spoon to remove any pieces of debris in the melted oil.
- Pour the liquid oil through a fine mesh strainer or sieve lined with cheese cloth or even paper towels.
- Allow the pot to cool and place into the refrigerator to allow the fat to firm up. You can also pour the melted fat into mason jars or an airtight container and allow the fat to solidify.
