There’s a reason chefs and home cooks alike are rediscovering beef tallow. With its high smoke point and rich flavour, it’s one of the best fats you can cook with.
Now available at Ribeye Butcher Shop, our new Tallow Bombs make it easier than ever to bring this classic cooking fat into your kitchen.
Available in both Original and Herb & Garlic, these pre-portioned cubes of rendered beef fat melt quickly in the pan and give you the perfect amount for cooking (no measuring required.)
Whether you’re searing a steak or roasting vegetables, tallow adds a depth of flavour that oils and butter simply can’t match.
How to Use Tallow Bombs
Tallow bombs can be used the same way you’d use butter or cooking oil, just in a convenient, pre-measured portion.
Our Original Tallow Bombs are perfect for everyday cooking, while the Herb & Garlic Tallow Bombs add an extra layer of savoury flavour to steaks, chicken, and roasted vegetables.
Here are a few easy ways to use them:
Searing & Frying
Drop one into a hot pan before cooking steaks, burgers, eggs, or chicken. Tallow’s high smoke point makes it ideal for high-heat cooking.
Roasting Vegetables
Melt a tallow bomb and toss with potatoes, carrots, or Brussels sprouts before roasting. The result is crispy edges and rich flavour.
Starting a Pan
Use one as the base for dishes like stir fry, breakfast hash, or ground beef recipes.
Finishing Fat
Melt one over a hot steak or roasted vegetables right before serving to add extra richness. The Herb & Garlic version works especially well here as a quick flavour boost.
Because they’re pre-portioned, many home cooks simply use one bomb per pan, making it easy to control how much fat you add while still getting incredible flavour.
3 Foods That Are Surprisingly Amazing Cooked in Beef Tallow
If you’re new to cooking with tallow, these foods are a great place to start.
French Fries or Roasted Potatoes
Fun fact: old-school fast food fries were originally cooked in beef tallow.
Tallow gives potatoes:
-
Crispier edges
-
Fluffy interiors
-
A deeper, richer flavour
Many chefs still swear that it makes the best fries possible.
Eggs
Cooking eggs in tallow adds a subtle savory note that pairs perfectly with breakfast.
It’s great for:
-
Fried eggs
-
Scrambled eggs
-
Breakfast hash
It also helps create those perfect crispy edges on fried eggs.
Popcorn
This one surprises people.
Cooking popcorn in tallow gives it a rich, almost movie-theatre style flavour and helps kernels pop evenly. It’s a fun way to elevate a classic snack.
Bonus: Next-Level Grilled Cheese
Try spreading a thin layer of melted tallow on the outside of your bread instead of butter before grilling. It creates a super crispy, golden crust with incredible flavour.
The Easiest Way to Start
If you’re experimenting with tallow bombs for the first time, start simple.
Melt one in a cast iron pan and cook potatoes or a steak. That’s where beef tallow truly shines: high heat, incredible flavour, and a perfect sear.
