I use 2 jars of McBee Beef Tallow a month between at home and at my FireStation and will not use anything else. McBee Farms has me as a consumer for good. I would recommend to anyone who asks me about it.

Cook With Tallow.
Ditch the Seed Oils.
Your great-grandmother cooked with animal fat. It wasn't a trend — it was common sense. Then seed oils came along and everything changed. Here's why we're going back to what worked.

Smoke Point Matters
The Higher the Heat,
The Higher the Heat,
the Better the Sear.
When cooking oils exceed their smoke point they break down — releasing harmful compounds, free radicals, and that acrid burnt smell that ruins the flavor of your food. Tallow's 480°F smoke point means it can handle any cooking method you throw at it.
Searing a steak, frying potatoes, roasting vegetables, deep frying — tallow handles it all without breaking down. Seed oils start degrading at temperatures you hit every day on your stovetop.
And when tallow does hit high heat, it doesn't release toxic aldehydes the way seed oils do. It just gets hotter and keeps cooking.

Omega-6 to Omega-3 Ratio in Seed Oils
The ideal ratio for human health is closer to 4:1. Seed oils flood your body with inflammatory omega-6 fatty acids your metabolism wasn't built to handle.

When Seed Oils Were Invented
Seed oils are a 20th century industrial invention — originally developed as machine lubricants and later marketed as food. Animal fats have been a human staple for thousands of years.
17x
More Aldehydes from Vegetable Oil vs Tallow
When heated, polyunsaturated seed oils release toxic aldehyde compounds at rates up to 17 times higher than stable animal fats like tallow.
What They Don't Tell You
Seed Oils Are a
Seed Oils Are a
Modern Experiment.
Before the 1900s, seed oils didn't exist in the human diet. People cooked with lard, tallow, butter, and coconut oil — the same fats humans evolved alongside for thousands of years.
Seed oils were created as a cheap industrial byproduct, heavily processed with chemical solvents to extract oil from seeds that don't naturally produce it in meaningful quantities. The science never supported the claim that they were healthier.
Tallow from grass-fed cattle is a whole food fat — rendered from one ingredient, shelf stable, nutrient-dense, and the same fat your ancestors cooked every meal with.
Why Tallow Wins
6 Reasons to Make
6 Reasons to Make
the Switch Today
🌡️
480°F Smoke Point
Sear steaks, fry potatoes, roast vegetables — tallow handles extreme heat without breaking down or releasing harmful compounds. Built for the kind of cooking that actually tastes good.
🧬
Naturally Nutrient Dense
Grass-fed tallow is loaded with fat-soluble vitamins A, D, E, and K2 — vitamins your body can only absorb in the presence of fat. Every meal cooked in tallow delivers nutrition seed oils never could.
⚖️
Balanced Fatty Acid Profile
Tallow contains a near-ideal ratio of saturated, monounsaturated, and polyunsaturated fats — closely matching human cell membranes. Seed oils are dangerously overloaded in omega-6.
🥩
Unbeatable Flavor
There's a reason restaurant chefs have always cooked with animal fat. Tallow adds a rich, savory depth to steaks, burgers, potatoes, and roasted vegetables that no seed oil can replicate.
🏺
Shelf Stable
Unlike seed oils that go rancid quickly and degrade before you even open the bottle, tallow is naturally shelf stable at room temperature. No refrigeration. No hidden rancidity you can't smell.
🌿
One Ingredient
Our cooking tallow is exactly one thing — rendered grass-fed beef fat. No additives, no preservatives, no chemical extraction. Just pure fat the way it's existed for thousands of years.
What to Cook With It
Tallow Works for Everything.
🥩
Steaks & Burgers
The classic. Tallow's high smoke point makes it perfect for achieving a restaurant-quality sear. Add a tablespoon to a screaming hot cast iron and watch the crust form.
🥔
Roasted & Fried Potatoes
McDonald's used tallow until 1990 — and people still say the fries were never the same. Toss potatoes in melted tallow before roasting or frying for the crispiest result you've ever made at home.
🫕
Roasting Vegetables
Carrots, Brussels sprouts, asparagus, squash — tallow coats vegetables evenly and handles oven temperatures that would smoke out seed oils. The caramelization is next level.
🍳
Eggs & Breakfast
Tallow gives eggs a rich, savory flavor and a crispy edge without burning. Your grandma used lard. You can use tallow. Same idea, same result — and a better start to your morning.
🔥
Cast Iron Seasoning
Tallow is one of the best fats for seasoning cast iron. Its fatty acid profile polymerizes beautifully into a natural non-stick surface that only gets better over time.
🍖
Basting & Finishing
Melt tallow and use it to baste meats during the last few minutes of cooking. It adds a glossy, rich finish that butter can approximate but never quite match.

Common Questions
Questions we hear most often about tallow.
Is beef tallow actually good for you?
Yes — and the science backs it up. Grass-fed beef tallow is rich in fat-soluble vitamins A, D, E, and K2, conjugated linoleic acid (CLA), and has a near-ideal balance of saturated and monounsaturated fats. It's the fat humans cooked with for thousands of years before seed oils were invented in the 1900s. The idea that saturated animal fat is unhealthy came from heavily flawed mid-20th century research that has since been widely challenged.
Will my food taste like beef if I cook with tallow?
No — and this surprises most people. Cooking tallow has a very mild, neutral flavor that won't overpower your food. What it does add is a rich, savory depth that makes everything taste better. Think of it less like "beef flavor" and more like the difference between cooking with good butter versus cheap margarine. The flavor improvement is real but subtle.
How do I store it and how long does it last?
Tallow is naturally shelf stable — you can store it at room temperature in a cool, dry place for up to 12 months. No refrigeration required. Unlike seed oils that go rancid quickly and often smell off before you even notice, tallow stays fresh and stable. Once opened, just keep the lid on and store it away from direct heat or sunlight.
What's the difference between tallow and butter for cooking?
Both are animal fats and both are far better choices than seed oils. The main difference is smoke point — butter burns around 300°F while tallow holds stable up to 480°F, making tallow the better choice for searing, frying, and any high-heat cooking. Butter is great for finishing and lower-heat cooking. Tallow is your workhorse fat for everything that needs real heat.
Where does your tallow come from?
Our cooking tallow is rendered from grass-fed beef fat sourced from Heartland-raised cattle. It's processed in small batches and contains exactly one ingredient — pure rendered beef fat. No additives, no preservatives, no chemical solvents. The same commitment to clean, traceable sourcing we put into everything with our name on it.

I've heard so much about cooking with Tallow instead of Vegetable oil! I can't wait to use it !
I used tallow years ago and then just stopped. Decided to order some and we had forgotten the flavoring it adds to meets and sautéed veggies. I even put it on our turkey this year and the flavoring was incredible.
Absolutely LOVE it!! Was a fantastic process from Ordering to receiving and then using!! Tastes delicious and browned the chicken I made beautifully!! A must for yourself or for gift giving!!
Great product!
Everything was great except for the packaging. The box was completely demolished and the pepperoni sticks were all over the place. But at least they weren't opened, but love the product
Very nice product ! I only used the tallow once so far and it worked as expected. The order came fairly fast and was packaged well.
Alot of flavor. Love it !!!!
Received beef tallow, which I have not yet used and I also received the face cream which I have used and I love it! Leaves my face nice and smooth. I can see my pores closing.
I used it with everything
N/A
When I got the box, it was crushed and the products looked like they were just thrown in there. There was some pouch next to the tallow that was supposed to be frozen, but when it was delivered, the ice was completely thawed and warm. The box of beef jerky was crushed and the jars of tallow just kind of tossed in there. When it looks like that it looks like you don’t care. Good news is that the product itself is very good quality so that is most important.
Love! Will purchase again
My first time using this product and I can say, I’m pleasantly surprised. I heard so much about beef tallow, so I decided to give it a try. No after taste and I like the fact the it mets like butter when heated. My only thing was that I ordered too many jars. Three jars were too much, cause I do not use it all the time, so one jar would have been ok. Great job on production of the tallow and packaging. They arrived as planned and were well secured in a sturdy box. Five stars all around! Thank you.!
Love it!
Love this stuff!!
2 of the jars were leaking, otherwise it was great.
Great products love the skin care and the beef talow is amazing!
We use to make all our meat!
Love using the tallow when using our Blackstone, we have used it with hamburgers and steak so far, love it !
Awesome

Wish it would have shipped faster but worth the wait !
Great product. Great customer service.
Gave as gifts and my kids love this tallow! Everything they have cooked (beef stir fry, pancakes, eggs, fried potatoes) came out perfect!
My order arrived broken so I had to throw them away. I did not contact the company
This stuff is AMAZING!!!
I really love it but the only thing it does not show a expiration date or if it should be refrigerated after opening
Very good product. Would recommend-order again
It was a great experience all around. The steaks I received first were AMAZING. The face tallow has worked really well & I love it. The beef tallow was off the charts. We are in GA and we grill & cook almost every weekend for friends, family & they have all loved everything. Forgot to mention the beef, cheese & jalepeno summer sausage was off the chain!!!!!! Keep up the great work we are rooting for you all from Georgia!!!
