Beef Tallow

Beef Tallow Delivered to Your Door

Rendered from high-quality beef fat, beef tallow is a nutrient-dense, traditional cooking fat with a rich, savory flavor — perfect for frying, roasting, and baking.

Once a staple in every kitchen, beef tallow is making a comeback thanks to its natural origins, bold flavor, and versatility. Whether you're frying crispy potatoes, baking flaky pie crusts, or searing meat in a cast iron skillet, this shelf-stable cooking fat adds unbeatable depth to any dish.

Fun Facts:

  • Beef tallow was the original frying oil used for generations before vegetable oils became common.

  • Thanks to its high smoke point, it’s ideal for frying, searing, and sautéing.

  • Shelf-stable and long-lasting when stored in a cool, dark place.

Nutritional Benefits:

  • Packed with natural saturated fats that hold up well under high heat.

  • Contains essential fat-soluble vitamins like A, D, E, and K—especially when sourced from grass-fed cattle.

  • Free from artificial additives and hydrogenated oils.

Cooking Tips:

  • Use beef tallow to fry potatoes, sear steaks, or grease cast iron pans for non-stick performance.

  • Add it to pie crust or biscuit dough for an extra rich, flaky finish.

  • Store at room temperature in an airtight container, or refrigerate for even longer shelf life.

Schmidt Beef Reviews

We have bought multiple items from Schmidt Beef. All the products have been amazing! Their briskets and steaks are some of the best we've had. Their customer service is top notch! We will definitely recomend to anyone and everyone!

I love that I have found Schmidt Beef. Now beef bundles are going to be shipped to my Colorado family as gifts from now to infinity. They grew up in Iowa so they know good beef when they taste it. My sister is some what of a steak aficionado and she says it’s the best she’s had in a great long while ( probably since she moved away from Iowa) and can’t wait to cook her next one.

My husband’s favorite food is a steak and he says these are some of the bests he’s had! Highly recommend!

We are so happy with our beef from Schmidt! We have been purchasing a 1/4 every year and this is, by far, the best one we have gotten yet! Super friendly service and delicious products!!

Top notch steaks on the grill tonight. Highly recommend!
