Tallow, which is rendered beef or mutton fat, is believed to be the secret ingredient at the renowned Franklin Barbecue, and now many pitmasters are using it to add extra flavor and moisture to their brisket. In this article, we&#8217;ll delve into the world of tallow, covering everything from its history and uses to how to make and apply it to your smoked briskets. Whether you&#8217;re a seasoned pitmaster or just getting started with barbeque, this guide has everything you need to know about using tallow on brisket.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Tallow is a type of fat that is made by rendering beef or mutton fat and removing impurities. It has been used in cooking for centuries, and was once a popular choice for deep frying. In barbeque, tallow is often used on brisket by smearing it onto butcher paper at the wrapping stage of the cook. This technique is commonly used in Texas barbeque restaurants, as many believe it adds extra moisture and flavor to the brisket. <\/strong>Tallow can be made in a smoker by simmering the brisket trimmings in an aluminium tray alongside the brisket, or it can be made on the stove and stored in jars for up to 6 months.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Key Points <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Tallow is a type of rendered fat that is made from beef or mutton fat, and has been used in cooking for centuries<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Tallow can be used as an alternative to oil or butter when cooking, and is especially popular in barbeque<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Tallow is believed to add extra moisture and flavor to brisket, and is commonly used in Texas barbeque restaurants<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Tallow can be made by simmering the brisket trimmings in an aluminium tray alongside the brisket in the smoker, or on the stove and stored in jars for up to 6 months<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Tallow is applied to the brisket at the wrapping stage of the cook, using butcher paper<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>There are two methods for applying tallow to the butcher paper: smearing it on the paper, or placing a dollop of tallow on the paper and placing the bottom of the brisket on top of it<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>After applying tallow, wrap the brisket tightly in the butcher paper and continue to smoke until it reaches the desired internal temperature<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Some tips for using tallow on brisket include trimming excess fat from the brisket before applying tallow, using enough tallow to cover the entire surface of the brisket, and avoiding overloading the brisket with tallow, which can lead to a greasy finished product<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What is Tallow?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Tallow is made from fat. It can be rendered from beef fat or mutton fat, and people have used it in cooking for centuries. Similar to lard (pork fat), or ghee (rendered butter), tallow is rendered fat that has been cooked down until all impurities have been removed.Tallow has many uses, from making soap to molding candles or deep frying food. Once upon a time, McDonalds made their french fries in deep fried tallow before switching to oil over 40 years ago. If you want an oil alternative, tallow is a great substitute for butter or oil when cooking, and it will add flavor and richness to your cooking, and especially your barbeque!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why Tallow on Brisket?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We all know fat is flavor, so using tallow on your brisket is a way of adding to the flavor profile of the brisket. Smoke adds one layer of flavor to your brisket and the rub adds another layer. Beef tallow is just another method you can try to introduce to your barbeque to add yet another layer of flavor to your already delicious brisket.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why Does Tallow Taste So Good?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Some believe tallow is the secret ingredient at Franklin\u2019s world famous brisket, and if it\u2019s true, I can see why. Even scientists say that our taste buds on our tongue have a neurological response to the taste of fat. The pleasure we receive from fat can lead to cravings for more fatty foods, similar to a drug addict craving drugs. So with that in mind, be careful how you use this information. Tallow may be the ingredient that makes your brisket addictive and you will have all your family and friends begging for more!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How To Apply Tallow To Brisket<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The best time to apply tallow to your smoked brisket is at the wrapping stage of the cook. Butcher paper is the preferred wrap when working with tallow, and I have yet to see a pitmaster use anything different when using the tallow method. There are several ways to apply the tallow to the butcher paper, and as always, experiment until you find a method you prefer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>The first option is to smear the tallow onto a sheet of butcher paper as if you were smearing tomato sauce onto a pizza base. Give the paper a decent covering and then place the brisket on the paper and wrap it as you normally would.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>The second option is to place a huge dollop of tallow (about 1 cup) on the butcher paper and place the bottom of the brisket on top. Make sure the fat cap is facing upwards, then wrap the brisket in a tight parcel.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>For more information on the foil vs butcher paper debate, check out this article. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.meatsmokinghq.com\/what-should-i-wrap-my-brisket-in\/\">How Should I Wrap My Brisket: Paper or Foil?<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<div class=\"container-lazyload preview-lazyload container-youtube js-lazyload--not-loaded\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=uKq0dFFbfG4\" class=\"lazy-load-youtube preview-lazyload preview-youtube\" data-video-title=\"Smoking Brisket with Beef Tallow vs. No Tallow - Brisket Series part 3 of 3\" title=\"Play video &quot;Smoking Brisket with Beef Tallow vs. No Tallow - Brisket Series part 3 of 3&quot;\">https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=uKq0dFFbfG4<\/a><noscript>Video can&#8217;t be loaded because JavaScript is disabled: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=uKq0dFFbfG4\" title=\"Smoking Brisket with Beef Tallow vs. No Tallow - Brisket Series part 3 of 3\">Smoking Brisket with Beef Tallow vs. No Tallow &#8211; Brisket Series part 3 of 3 (https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=uKq0dFFbfG4)<\/a><\/noscript><\/div>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Spread The Tallow On Butcher Paper- Step-By-Step<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Before adding tallow, smoke the brisket through the first phase as you normally would. Bring the brisket to a 150\u00b0F internal meat temperature and then assess the bark formation until you are ready to wrap. Once the brisket is ready for wrapping, follow one of these methods.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Making Tallow: Method 1<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To apply tallow to your brisket, you will need to lay out butcher paper or aluminium foil and cut it to size. Spread a thick layer of tallow over the inside layer of the paper, like spreading pizza sauce. Place the brisket on the tallow-smeared paper and wrap it as normal. Once the brisket reaches an internal temperature of 203\u00b0F, remove it from the smoker and unwrap it. If you plan to rest the brisket, allow it to rest for at least 30 minutes to an hour before slicing. If you plan to hold it for 4+ hours, add more tallow to a fresh sheet of paper, re-wrap the brisket, and wrap it in a towel before placing it in a dry cooler until you are ready to slice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><thead><tr><th>Step<\/th><th>Description<\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td>1<\/td><td>Lay out butcher paper or aluminium foil and cut it to size<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>2<\/td><td>Smear a thick layer of tallow over the inside layer of the paper, spreading it around like pizza sauce<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>3<\/td><td>Place the brisket on the tallow-smeared paper and wrap it as normal<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>4<\/td><td>Once the brisket reaches an internal temperature of 203\u00b0F, remove it from the smoker and unwrap it<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>5<\/td><td>If you plan to rest the brisket, allow it to rest for at least 30 minutes to an hour before slicing.

For this method, you will need some pre-made tallow as well as some hot smoked tallow from your smoker. You can make some hot tallow using brisket trimmings and smoke the fat alongside your brisket. The pre-made tallow should be solid after being chilled in the refrigerator.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To apply tallow to your brisket, you will need some pre-made tallow as well as some hot smoked tallow made from brisket trimmings. Cut the fat into small cubes, place it in an aluminium tray, and smoke it alongside the brisket in the smoker. Lay out butcher paper or foil, place a large dollop of pre-made tallow on it, and place the brisket on top with the fat side facing up. Wrap the brisket in the paper and continue cooking until it reaches a internal temperature of 203\u00b0F. Unwrap the brisket, pour the liquid tallow from the aluminium tray onto the brisket, and re-wrap it. Allow the brisket to rest for at least 30 minutes to an hour before slicing, and store leftover tallow in a mason jar, separating the meat and tallow with a metal sieve. If holding the brisket, wrap it in a towel and place it in a dry cooler for 4+ hours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><thead><tr><th>Step<\/th><th>Description<\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td>1<\/td><td>Trim the brisket and set aside some fat<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>2<\/td><td>Cut the brisket fat into small cubes and place in an aluminium tray<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>3<\/td><td>Smoke the fat alongside the brisket in the smoker at 220\u00b0F until the fat is rendered into liquid<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>4<\/td><td>Lay out butcher paper or foil<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>5<\/td><td>Place a large dollop of pre-made tallow (about 1 cup) on the paper and place the brisket on top, with the fat side facing up<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>6<\/td><td>Wrap the brisket in the paper and continue cooking until it reaches a 203\u00b0F internal meat temperature<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>7<\/td><td>Unwrap the brisket, pour the liquid tallow from the aluminium tray onto the brisket, and re-wrap the brisket<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>8<\/td><td>Allow the brisket to rest for at least 30 minutes to an hour before slicing<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>9<\/td><td>If holding the brisket, wrap it in a towel, place it in a dry cooler, and hold for 4+ hours<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>10<\/td><td>Store leftover tallow in a mason jar, separating the meat and tallow with a metal sieve<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How To Make Tallow The Traditional Way<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can make tallow on the stove, in a slow cooker, or in your smoker if you\u2019re always after more smoked flavor. Whichever way you decide to make tallow, keep in mind that cooking fat down to nothing will stink out the house! If you have an outdoor cooker, then I would recommend making tallow outside. The goal is to cook the meat trimmings until the meat and fat has been separated. Be careful not to burn the fat, so it\u2019s important to keep the heat low, but warm enough to keep the fat simmering. Add a little water to the fat and stir regularly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To make tallow from leftover brisket fat trimmings, cut the trimmings into small cubes and place them in a pot or slow cooker with 1 cup of water. Stir every 5-10 minutes, making sure the heat is high enough for the fat to bubble without burning. After 45 minutes, scoop out the meat and allow the fatty liquid to cool for at least 1 hour. Strain the fat using a metal sieve or coffee filter with cheese cloth or paper filters, then pour the tallow into a mason jar and seal tightly. The tallow can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 6 months.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><thead><tr><th>Preparation<\/th><th>Description<\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td>Cut leftover brisket fat trimmings into small cubes<\/td><td>Use kitchen grinder\/mincer if available<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Place diced fat and trimmings in a pot or slow cooker<\/td><td>Add 1 cup of water to prevent burning and sticking<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Stir every 5-10 minutes<\/td><td>Make sure heat is high enough for fat to bubble without burning<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>After 45 minutes, scoop out the meat<\/td><td>Allow the fatty liquid to cool for at least 1 hour<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Strain the fat using a metal sieve or coffee filter<\/td><td>Place cheese cloth in sieve or use paper filters<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Pour tallow into a mason jar and seal tightly<\/td><td>Store in refrigerator for up to 6 months<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<div class=\"container-lazyload preview-lazyload container-youtube js-lazyload--not-loaded\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=hu4kpG15EtQ\" class=\"lazy-load-youtube preview-lazyload preview-youtube\" data-video-title=\"How to Make Beef Tallow from Brisket Trimmings\" title=\"Play video &quot;How to Make Beef Tallow from Brisket Trimmings&quot;\">https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=hu4kpG15EtQ<\/a><noscript>Video can&#8217;t be loaded because JavaScript is disabled: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=hu4kpG15EtQ\" title=\"How to Make Beef Tallow from Brisket Trimmings\">How to Make Beef Tallow from Brisket Trimmings (https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=hu4kpG15EtQ)<\/a><\/noscript><\/div>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Quick and Easy Brisket Tallow<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Using your smoker is by far the quickest and easiest way to make tallow. Set aside your brisket trimmings and chop them into cubes after you\u2019ve cubed your brisket. Place the fat and trimmings into an aluminium pan and add a drop of liquid. Place the pan in the smoker set to 220\u00b0F. Let the fat simmer for several hours. Once the brisket is ready to be wrapped, remove the tallow pan and pour the liquid over the butcher paper. Add some more after the once the brisket is done, right before it goes into resting\/holding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Experiment With Tallow<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I have learned over the years that smoking brisket is about experimentation because there are dozens of techniques that you can use at any one time. When I\u2019m cooking for a crowd, I don\u2019t like to stray from methods tried and true, however, when I\u2019m just cooking for my family on the weekend, I like to try out different things. Every tip and trick you apply will add a slight difference to the flavor and texture of the brisket. For example, the bark on a foil wrapped brisket will have a different texture to the bark on a brisket wrapped in butcher paper, or a naked unwrapped brisket. By adding tallow to your list will add another variation to your brisket. If you were to take this experimentation approach to your barbeque, I would recommend only changing one thing at a time when smoking brisket.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">In Summary<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><thead><tr><th>Tallow<\/th><th>Description<\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td>Uses of tallow<\/td><td>Tallow can be used as an alternative to oil or butter when cooking, and is especially popular in barbeque<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Benefits of using tallow on brisket<\/td><td>Tallow is believed to add extra moisture and flavor to brisket, and is commonly used in Texas barbeque restaurants<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>How to make tallow<\/td><td>Tallow can be made by simmering the brisket trimmings in an aluminium tray alongside the brisket in the smoker, or on the stove and stored in jars for up to 6 months<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>How to apply tallow to brisket<\/td><td>Tallow is applied to the brisket at the wrapping stage of the cook, using butcher paper.
