Brisket Trimmings

[Dr ROK]

What does everybody do with the fat they trim from their brisket?

[Mosca]

I pitch it. I guess I could render it and make something from it; soap? But I really get more than enough fat in my diet in all the wrong ways already.

[Jerod Broussard]

Food for the local "wildlife" that will feast on such an abundant supply of lipids.

[HorseDoctor]

Yup, render it if my supply is short, otherwise it goes in the bird feeders (which also ends up feeding the local raccoon population).

[Dr ROK]

What would a person use the rendered fat for?

[Jerod Broussard]

Beef love for reverse searing.

[HorseDoctor]

I use it to sear venison steaks. Yumm!!!! Or to brown venison roast prior to braising, or chunks prior to stew. Most of the red meat I eat that isn't Q'ed is venison. A little beef fat for an otherwise very lean meat is GREAT!!!

[Spinaker]

I use it to add into meatloaf, chill or adding to a skillet. I have a lot now though. So lately, I have been pitching it.
