ProTip: Bacon grease is great for cooking your steak

Don't usually post these LowIQ food threads but just used bacon grease to cook my ribeye. Often olive oil or similar is suggested. Bacon grease work great and gives a nice marinade to your medium-rare (towards-rare) ribeyes. Other than that just add butter, salt and black pepper.

add the butter later. the bacon grease is for the actual grilling...its an undercoat to the butter, pepper, salt...garlic or whatever else.

Butter browns better and is just all around better flavor. I sometimes use left over bacon grease and I always end up thinking I should have just used butter.

I cooked homemade chicken cutlet sandwiches

Fried bacon first

Fried the chicken in the bacon grease

Toasted the bread in the pan with a little left over grease

Slapped it all together and it was hnnnnng.

Bacon Grease has too low a smoke point to get a sear. You end up with a smoky kitchen and a burnt mess.

Literally the lowest smoke point of any cooking fat - 325F.

Why would you pay $20-$27 per lb of steak to make it taste like bacon? Use tallow.

This here. Use tallow. I've been using it to cook vegetables as well and they turn out great.
