Use of dry aged beef fat.

So many of us know that you can use duck fat to make some killer potatoes.  But what about dry aged beef fat?  I trimmed some 40 day dry aged fat prior to grilling the steak. I am thinking I could use that buttery and intensively flavored fat for something delicious and special, but what? I am assuming I could render some down for coating and using  with potatoes, but anyone have any other ideas?   I am trying to think outside the box here, but not coming up with much.

    Brown it in a skillet on all sides and put it on a toasted Martin's potato roll. :smiley:

    Use it the next tie you need to fry something.  Throw a hunk or two in and fry away.  Or you could render it all down and cool it in the fridge.  Then scoop out as needed for some vegetable sauté...

    Render it and use on a griddle when cooking potatoes or hot slaw.

    Any road will take you there if you don't know where you're going.

    Sorry for the delay in thanking for the responses.   Not sure I could make a sandwich out of it, but I guess the will help out the spuds when I use it for them.

    I save , and use brisket fat to cook greens, use in place of oil sometimes, and to brown tortillas for tacos, instead of lard.

    How about sear your non-aged steaks in it in a cast iron pan? Or melt it over a finished steak?

    @ScaryLarry , nevermind @Photo Egg. But wow - this is an old post.

    Welcome to to forum. 

     I never thought of saving it for a fresh steak. I have rendered some and cooked potatoes in it. That really is a game changer on the level of using duck fat.  I also used some, instead of butter, in my pan for eggs. When I have some extra, I save it and go crazy using it as a substitute for butter and in some cases oil for appropriate dishes. It provides a new twist on flavor.
