Recent Meat Haul

Recently I tried another beef supplier to replenish my meat stock. 

This supplier is Beeficious and they are on Shopee. I actually found out about them from another member of Carnivore-Malaysia.


I ordered 2 ribeye, 2 sirloin, one brisket and 2 kg of beef fat.


I bought the beef fat to make tallow.


I used one packet to start. The rest went into the freezer.


One batch I used stove top.


It splatters a lot so I used my splatter guard.


After a while, the fats start to render.


Another batch I used the air fryer. The end result was a bottle of liquid gold.


I use this as cooking oil. 


The leftovers from the extraction of the fats are cracklings.


It's great as a snack, sprinkled with salt.


That weekend I tried the sirloin. 


It was not bad, although I have to admit that Feast Market's quality of beef is better (and of course more expensive).


The beef cracklings taste pretty much like chee yau char (pork cracklings). Nyum


OK lah, I can buy from Beeficious the next time I need to restock.

  3. Ah, oil from the fats you made yourself at home is the best 👍😊

  4. The meats from this new supplier looks more dark in colour, like it was aged. Since your diet champions saturated fat, isn't processed food high in saturated fat (which you eliminate) or you're supposed to get that from a "cleaner source" like animal products?

    1. Processed foods contain vegetable/seed oils which are cheaper but are highly inflammatory. Palm oil is good as it has a mix of saturated, mono and polyunsaturated fats. The problem is our cooking oils are labelled as "blended oil/minyak sebatian" and they don't disclose what are those oils that were blended with palm oil.

  5. Does the smell and the taste of the oil from beef fat different from pork lard?

    1. Yes, it is different. When I used beef fat to cook steak, wah.... the aroma was heavenly!
