Store in an airtight container. Skim any solidified bits before use if desired.

Use beef drippings to roast potatoes for an incredibly crispy exterior and rich flavor.

Add a spoonful to gravies or stews to deepen their savory taste.

Fry eggs or bacon in drippings for an extra layer of deliciousness.

Strain the drippings through a fine-mesh sieve to remove any browned bits before storing.
