Beef tallow is rendered beef fat and one of the cleanest keto cooking fats. It has zero carbs and a high smoke point.

Keto notes

  • Pure fat, so 0g net carbs and no protein or sugar
  • Great for searing steak, frying eggs, and roasting vegetables at high heat
  • Adds a rich flavor that most oils cannot match
  • Shelf stable and easy to keep in a jar near the stove

Use it in place of seed oils for a more traditional, whole food fat source.
