Wagyu Tallow for burger?

Thought about trying this instead of beef fat from butcher for my Muley I just killed. Mistake or no? 90/10 maybe?

Mix 20% bacon. You can thank me later

Go for it. But it is just expensive beef fat.

Wagyu is only fancy beef due to the ridiculous marbling in the muscle.

Now if you want fancy beef fat you should ask what kind if grain was the beef finished on. That may create different flavor of beef fat.

I wouldn’t do it especially if it costs more. Regular kidney fat from a grain fed beef is exactly the same thing at a reduced price. I prefer to use bacon ends & pieces if you can find it. If not then buy thick cut bacon that’s on sale.

I tried bacon ends a while back and hated the flavor for anything other than making hamburgers. Leaning towards beef fat but have been curious about trying the wagyu tallow. May get a small thing of it and make a small batch of whitetail burger.

You can get large amounts of beef fat from any butcher and render it down to tallow. I wouldn’t spend the money for Wagyu fat
