So I’ve been making and consuming my own bone broth lately, and coincidentally discover beef suet.
Confused as to why anybody would want this shit, I did a little research and discovered tallow.
Tallow is similar to lard, but is specific to bovine type animals and is apparently a much healthier source of fat.
I decided to try to make my own. Unfortunately I didn’t take a picture of the suet before I chopped it up, but here’s a picture of it in the crockpot before rendering it:

Already in just chopping it up and running it through the food processor as suggested, I got a bunch of the raw material on my hands and it’s a really great skin softener/moisturizer.
It reminded me of that stuff “O’Keeffe’s Working Hands”, and sure enough tallow is the first ingredient.
Anyway, I’m about to start rendering it which could take 5-6 hours. I’ll post an update when appropriate.
