Crispy Beef Tallow Cracklings with Spiced Beef Jerky Dust
A truly carnivore snack featuring deeply rendered, crispy beef tallow cracklings, dusted with finely ground, unflavored beef jerky for a savory, textural delight. This recipe requires precise temperature control for optimal crispness.
Ingredients
- Beef Suet18.7 g
- Beef Jerky4.7 g
Instructions
- 1Step 1
Cut the beef suet into small (approx. 1/2 inch) cubes. Ensure all cubes are uniform for even rendering.
- 2Step 2
Place the suet cubes in a heavy-bottomed saucepan over very low heat. This step is critical for slow, even rendering without burning. Maintain a gentle simmer, not a boil, for 10-12 minutes.
- 3Step 3
While the suet renders, prepare the jerky dust. Using a spice grinder or a very powerful blender, process the beef jerky until it forms a fine, powder-like consistency. This requires pulsing in short bursts to prevent overheating.
- 4Step 4
Continue to render the suet, stirring occasionally, until the fat has fully melted and the cracklings are golden brown and crisp. This requires careful observation to prevent burning. Remove the cracklings with a slotted spoon and place them on a wire rack lined with paper towels to drain excess fat and cool completely, ensuring maximum crispness.
- 5Step 5
Once cooled, transfer the crispy beef tallow cracklings to a serving dish. Liberally dust them with the finely ground beef jerky powder, ensuring an even coating for flavor and texture. Serve immediately for optimal crispness.
