Golden Rule 100% Beef Tallow - Premium Cooking Oil (16 oz)

Golden Rule BBQ Beef Tallow comes to us from one of the oldest barbecue joints in the USA that is still in operation. The Golden Rule opened its doors in Irondale, Alabama in 1891.

Made in Alabama from 100% beef, this beef tallow is perfect for wrapping briskets and is a premium, clean cooking oil.

Beef tallow is used in BBQ for several key purposes, thanks to its rich flavor and high smoke point. Here’s how it's typically used:

1. Wrapping & Moisture Retention: Slather beef tallow on your briskets (especially during the wrap phase) to help lock in moisture and add richness during long cooks.

2. Flavor Boost: Tallow adds a deep, beefy umami flavor. When brushed on meat, mixed into rubs, or added to sauces, it enhances the overall savoriness of BBQ.

3. Basting: Use melted tallow as a baste to keep meat moist and flavorful throughout the cook.

4. Crust Development (Bark): Adding tallow can help promote a better bark on brisket or other smoked meats due to the way it interacts with rubs and heat.

5. Seasoning Grills or Smokers: Tallow can be used to season grates or metal surfaces, especially on flat tops and cast iron.

6. Frying or Searing: Tallow can also be used to fry or sear items for a rich finish—especially sides or post-smoke searing.
