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.

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.
