@@lukesgains you're still doing it - go ahead and keep up appearances though! Just delete all the comments with the link to the health risks of red meat consumption and leave the rest up so it LOOKS like I'm making this whole thing up. I've given up trying to express myself honestly on your channel
Look up the process to make up soap, or if that’s not entertaining enough look up fight club you’ll understand that you can make soap nearly out of any kind of fat
@@pazz6708 not exactly……. You got in the wrong branch of the comment thread…… 2 of us were talking about being fat….. and you either missed the joke or got on the one.
@@polishpipebomb that’s complete bullshit lol. 10% is absurd and made up, and it’s the cholesterol which carries fatty acids that can deposit in the arteries, not the literal saturated fatty acids themselves. Also, saturated fats consumed in moderation will not cause heart disease, especially if you’re active and healthy, and eat a balanced diet low in simple sugars, that includes meat, seafood, whole grains, vegetables, and fruits, and avoiding processed foods. There have been several studies done on the Maasai tribe of east Africa who eat a diet of purely red meat and milk, with far more saturated fat than westerners, and they find the tribesmen have extremely low incidences of heart disease, it is thought that their active lifestyle protects them. Pre neolithic hunter gatherers also ate shit tons of red meat, nitrogen isotope studies find that they mostly ate large herbivores. You probably shouldn’t eat 100s of grams of saturated fats every day like Stone Age cavemen who needed to do it for survival, but it’s fine to eat some. Its natural and our bodies have been exposed to it for millions of years, there is nothing wrong with eating reasonable amounts, and you can be perfectly healthy doing so.
As a dermatologist I ask of you, please don’t rub unfiltered beef fat on your skin. All the oil and bacteria will be a breeding ground for acne and it will clog your pores like crazy. If you clean and filter it it might make a good hand soap though!
look at what they did before the 1900s. People all used animal fats as moisturizer. Petrol chemicals and plant based non sense replaced what humans used for 10s of thousands of years.
Fry potatoes in it. Used to keep a beef fat filled deep fryer in a restaurant I worked in. We used it solely for French fries (yes we told people) and they were the best goddamn French fries ever.
@Maria S Yeeeeahhh... it's healthier to cook your food with pure animal fat compared to highly processed oils and oil substitutes like margarine. When it comes to diet, fat isn't evil. It's necessary. Especially for muscle and brain function. There's all kinds of fats that out bodies utilize in various ways, but one of the few ways our bodies DON'T use fat is by directly transferring the cholesterol in the fat directly to our arteries. That's not at all how that works. Moderation and balance are the keys to sustainable, healthy eating habits.
I read a magazine article that posted the question Botox or bacon fat. So I put bacon fat on my face, after spritzing my face with a bit of lavender water. Bacon fat is very bio available to the skin. Fattens up my skin. I do this three or four times a day. I’m 73 and like it’s affect. Not everyone’s skin likes it.
Tallow (beef fat) was, historically, a really common remedy for dry skin. It's one of the things people were commonly using before we had commercial lotions, and making your own tallow is a lot more eco friendly than many of these modern products that use primarily palm oil. Palm oil production is absolutely decimating the rainforests in many parts of the world, and it's mostly for the cosmetics industry.
A classic that always work, I do tend to just leave it in the pan and fry maybe my left over rice or vegetables in genral in it or I put it in my Ramen. So since I need them calories I do eat it still and I love it
@@OrviC Not really until you need for certain dishes minced lean beef or on a diet and this RU-vidr isn't also excluding the fact he might still use it in smaller portions later on...

@@juanmanuelcastrillonalvare3662 more science has come out stating saturated fat is NOT as unhealthy as was once thought. More importantly, seed oils break down at high temperatures where as saturated fats are stable
@@rad_lad_2715 saturated fat increases apoB which increases the likelihood of heart disease, this fact is supported by metabolic wards and mendelian randomization studies respectively and second what evidence do you have that heating seed oils is harmful in anyway? (not mechanistic studies, I mean outcome data)
@JUAN MANUEL CASTRILLON ALVAREZ 1. Seed oils are very high in omega 6 linoleic acid, which has been shown to potentially increase cancer in studies like "Current evidence linking polyunsaturated fatty acids with cancer risk and progression" by Azrad and colleagues. I'd link the study, but youtube removes all outside links 2. Highly heated unsaturated fatty acids produce potentially harmful lips oxidation products according to the study "Impact of Heating Temperature and Fatty Acid Type on the Formation of Lipid Oxidation Products During Thermal Processing" by Zhuang and colleagues. Again, I can't link the study itself 3. The study "Dietary Fatty Acids, Macronutrient Substitutions, Food Sources and Incidence of Coronary Heart Disease: Findings From the EPIC-CVD Case-Cohort Study Across Nine European Countries" concluded that saturated fat itself does NOT increase heart disease risk, rather it is specific foods that may contain saturated fat that do.
can't beat animal fat for frying stuff like eggs with. bacon grease is good, but red meat intramuscular fat is beautiful Edit: and it's pretty much necessary for flaky pie crust
There is no reason to keep gross, ugly to look at, stinky, fat around the house like that. Just buy store products. If your excuse is cause not everyone has the luxury, it’s probably because you’re too busy extracting beef fat to store into mason jars 😂
I personally find it much easier to put a mesh strainer over a bowl and just pouring all of the ground beef into the strainer and letting the fat drain into the bowl for a minute or two
@@raidzeromatt bro what? 😭literally everything you eat has some sort of fat in it, especially meats. Know wtf you’re talking about before you say stupid shi likes that🤦♂️
We strain it with a colander. We also keep it because it's a good fat that your body doesn't struggle to break it down. Best use for beef fat that I've found? Cooking eggs in it. Scrambled, fried, omelet, whatever. It adds an amazing flavor to the eggs.
@@NoShortyLikeMine in general red meat isn’t the best for those with or at risk for cardiovascular disease true however it’s healthier than processed fats. But less healthier* than fats found in veggies and nuts. When it comes to most unprocessed foods there is no absolute good or bad food only foods best for your needs and diet. The man in the video however is just being extra
Not just eggs but really anything. Lard is pork fat. And lard is used in cooking. It’s a great oil substitute in general. I save beef and bacon fat and whenever a recipe asks for oil, I use that instead.
2 ways for this. Remove it eat less calories which is what you want. Or add dry spices & flour to thicken it and eat it for more calories, which is what I do. After issues I'm 52kg at 6ft, so need everything to gain weight.
If you were on hard drugs and have an addictive personality i wouldn't recommend but alchohol ,pasta and corn will fatten you up like a Christmas goose
Ok back up… “I removed all this beef fat from my pound of ground beef I eat for lunch every day.” Has got to be one of the best things I’ve heard all year.
I do the same thing, except I refine it. Heat the fat up and add it to a small skinny bowl or glass and add water, mix it around, wait for it to cool, and then collect the fat on the top once it solidifies. It makes it a lot whiter and helps to get rid of a little bit of the beef smell. Then you can use it to make soap. That’s what I do with bacon fat
Beef tallow is best used to pan sear steaks after a reverse sear cook in the oven to 120F. After a great hot sear, about a minute to 90 seconds a side, then throw in a knob of butter, some smashed whole garlic cloves, and spoon baste the steaks untill they reach 130F, another minute or two. Then take the steaks out of the cast iron and throw in some mushrooms and onions and saute. Then add some port wine and deglaze the pan, making a pan sauce, take off the heat then melt in another tablespoon of butter to finish the sauce off. Delicious.
I think crayons are made from a combination of beef fat and wax. You could also use it as fry oil. That’s a big reason why McDonald’s fries are so perfectly golden along with the type of potato. I think they use Yukon golds? You can also use it as oil for cooking steaks or anything you don’t mind having a slight beef flavor
Animal fats are high in minerals and nutrients like B12 and amino acids. It's vegetable fat that will clog. Your body knows exactly what to do with animal fats. They aren't the enemy
I quit seed and vegetable oils because apparently they are really bad for you. This leaves me with Olive Oil, Avocado Oil, and Coconut Oil, which are expensive. Now, I always strain and save fats from meat and poultry as well. Lord knows people have always saved bacon fat, and cooking in duck fat is the secret sauce of many chefs, but I also save chicken fat by cooking down all my extra chicken skin and trimmings at low heat, until the fat all renders out. You can do this with beef and pork trimmings, too, and yes, if you strain off pan drippings, you can save it and just use it like butter in your cooking. Any fat does the same job in the pan, but animal fats give you an amazing flavor, and they're basically free. Also, here's a quick lesson: Chicken fat is called Schmaltz, Pork fat is called Lard, and Beef fat is called Tallow. I'm too poor to know what Duck fat is called.
I am so sorry that the low carb peddlers have lied to you But, in the real world it's the other way around, you should be replacing sources of saturated fat with sources of mono and poli unsaturated fat (including seed oils), this will lower your apoB, LDL and with it your risk of heart disease Most animal fats (except for fatty fish, and omega 3 rich eggs), should be limited for this reason
@@juanmanuelcastrillonalvare3662 Humans have consumed prodigious amounts of animal fat for 100s of 1000s of years. We are evolutionarily adapted to consume them. We've been on seed oils for less than 100 years. The key to avoiding high blood cholesterol is 1) to not overconsume animal lipids, and 2) is to be extremely active in terms of cardiovascular and resistance/strength training.
@peachmelba1000 Just because we have been consuming animal fats for a long time doesn't mean they are healthy, this is because in evolution there is a phenomena called antagonistic pleiotropy, meaning, that a certain thing can be beneficial early on but detrimental later in life, for example animal fat can prevent starvation due to it being calorically dense, and hence help ensure a given person makes it to reproductive age, but because heart disease can take up significantly longer than that to manifest, this very same animal fat that helped a person make it to their 30s, will also be loading the gun (ApoB) that will kill them in their 60s or 70s And there really isn't a lot of evidence we are "adapted" to it, take the masai for example, a lot of their diet is animal fat and despite the average masai being under 40, they have artherial tickening comparable to that of old US men (1). And the fact remains that substituting saturated fat with pufas and mufas reduces apoB and lowers risk of heart disease in most studies that have looked into it (2) (1). Mann GV, Spoerry A, Gray M, Jarashow D. Atherosclerosis in the Masai. Am J Epidemiol. 1972 Jan;95(1):26-37. doi: 10.1093/oxfordjournals.aje.a121365. PMID: 500736 (2). Clifton PM, Keogh JB.

@@juanmanuelcastrillonalvare3662 I'm not disputing any of what you say, however 1) I advocate only consuming about 8-10% of calories from fat per day, meaning it is in no way the primary source of calories in the diet, and 2) high blood pressure and arterial hardening can be mitigated through regular exercise via increased nitric oxide production by endothelial cells, which is at least better than dealing with the inflammation caused by seed oil consumption via anti-inflammatory drugs. Speaking for myself only, I switched to a no processed sugar, no gluten, whole food, 70% protein, 20% fruit and vegetable, 10% animal fat diet about six months ago, and I have never felt better. I run 30 miles per week, and go to the gym or do calisthenics at home. Cutting out sugar is the huge factor in this change, we can agree on that I think. I wouldn't advocate for any more fat than I described above.
@@peachmelba1000 1. There is not much reason to put alimit on total fat outside very specific cases, just on saturated fat 2. You don't need seed oils but It's not clear seed oils cause inflammation independent of weight gain, most studies haven't found a significant effect 3. Aerobic excercise is healthy for the cardiovascular system, absolutely 4. Assuming you are not undereating or have kidney issues, your diet doesn't seem too bad, though if you are running 30 miles weekly regularly I would consider adding more carbs
I'm flabbergasted that draining the fat was something that needed a video. I can't decide if I'm just getting old, or if cooking has become THAT outdated. I'm not sure which is sadder, smh.
Tip for what to actually do with your beef fat. Get solid clumb and marinate it at a little under room tempature. Use whatever flavor you like but you wanna make sure it stays solid while marinating to really absorb the flavor. When you're done with that, next time you wanna cook, instead of using butter, use that. The flavor is absolutely impeccable, goes really good when making carne asada for tacos, quesadillas, burritos, trust me you gotta try it
Another way that I use is a metal very thin mesh I found that fits in my air fryer. I get nice crisp and juicy minced meat, perfect for tortillas and other things, with a pool of beef or pork fat removed and left at the bottom.
is this basically beef tallow? if so its a really good substitute for butter or light frying. i use tallow everytime i make steaks and i get a great sear!
I’m genuinely surprised more people don’t do this lol. I think it’s gross to have all that fat in the ground beef. Iv always taken the fat out for whenever I’m making spaghetti or tacos
@@colbicolbiWTF try reading about other peoples experiences w tallow as a moisturizer. I used to be ignorant to try & look into a lot of different things too 🫡
@@colbicolbiWTF okay so companies do make beef fat/tallow cream that is NOT coming from a stovetop like this. I would absolutely not use this fat on my face. Tallow for body cream should look more yellow and clean, this guy’s glob of fat was kind of clear?? Definitely would not put that on my body but using that fat blob cook with again would be perfectly fine.
Wow! This is exactly how I drain the beef fat using my cast iron pan, tilted over the edge of the stove onto the counter and scooping the beef fat with a large spoon and into a Corning coffee cup! 😊
You can use it too sear off your steak as well. It can withstand hot temperatures of the searing without burning and can help get a nice sear on the steak. Plus it’s beef fat so it’ll had to the beef flavour a bit. You could also use it for Yorkshire pudding if you have enough of it.
@@megatronusorionpax4900 Be careful not to spill it, but I do this too for my beef. I got burnt once and spilled most of my ground beef, was not a good time.
I've made lots of soap with left over fat! I store it in the freezer til I have a good amount of it, then boil it with water, let it cool, scrape off any gunk, and repeat til the water/fat look clean. There are soap recipes online, just be careful when you're calculating how much lye you need, because different fats need different amounts of lye. I'm not very careful, I estimate how much fat I have from each source, then calculate what a safe range is if I'm wrong. I'm not sure it's cheaper than just buying detergent soap from the store, but it's fun and I'm happy the fat isn't going to waste
Not everyone wants to be obese. People do this for the gym. I do the same thing and save about 500 calories worth just from getting the fat out. All of a sudden I’m able to get extremely lean beef with my avocado Greek yogurt and tortillas for 600-700 calories and 70-75 g of protein twice a day. If I ate that shit I wouldn’t be able to eat it twice a day. And I’d cut my protein intake by 1/3
@@burst5925 Lol over exaggerate much? I’ve never drained the fat, i workout and i’m not obese. It’s all about keeping a balance and enjoying things, not being obsessed and having an eating disorder
Why would want to remove the fat? It's so much flavour and the calories don't matter if you just eat a bit less of it. To be fair I never cook ground beef on its own, I always cook onions and other veggies with it. They then soak up the fat & flavour.
Fat is an essential micronutrient that in the absence of sugar is utilized as your primary source of energy, in ketosis or the absence of sugar that fat can be turned into natural steroids and growth hormones that aid in protien synthesis as well as many other natural functions, incase you didn't already know :)
BEEF FAT, or lard of any kind is AMAZING for eczema, dry patches, or if you work in healthcare like me and get super awful dryness and cracked hands from gloves, it’s FANTASTIC!!
Eat it. This is good for you and your hormones. Don't seperate it. It has now become known that fat is not bad for us and is essential for many functions such as hormones. Previously we were told to fear fat.
Unstaurated fatty acids are essential, saurated fatty acids are not essential and do in fact raise your risk of cardiovascular disease via increasing ApoB, so no, beef fat is not healthy

You can use your fats to replace store bought butter for any vegetables dish and usually you use a lot less than you would butter ... Even a can of veg placed in a bowl going into a microwave with a little fat instead of a pat of butter is good ... It saves money and I believe is a healthier option since it is just fat and no other ingredients...
@@charlesbrown4483 "Animal derived fat" is a very heterogeneous group, I am not saying things like fat from salmon or omega 3 enriched eggs are bad I am saying saturated fat (beyond ~10% of calories) is bad, because it raises apoB and with it the risk of cardiovascular disease, this applies to foods with are rich in SFAs whether animal (lard, tallow, fatty meats) or plants (coconut oil, palm oil...)
Cook french fries and battered fish in it. Beef fat is the traditional fat used in fish & chip shops, and was used by McDonald's to cook its french fries. Today, McD's uses "healthier" vegetable oil for frying, but its fries are sprayed with beef fat flavouring at the factory.
