Beef Tallow Potato Chips: The Ultimate Snack Without Seed Oils Remember when McDonald's fries tasted different? That was the magic of beef tallow. For many of us, it’s a nostalgic flavor—rich, savory, and completely unforgettable. At Snake River Farms, we’ve spent years perfecting American Wagyu beef, and now we’re taking that same dedication to flavor and quality and applying it to our latest creation: Beef Tallow Potato Chips. These aren’t just any chips. We’ve used our Wagyu beef tallow—rendered from the finest cuts of American Wagyu beef—to craft a chip that’s not only crispy but also delivers a flavor depth that’s hard to find in the world of mass-produced snacks. The result is a kettle-style chip that’s golden, crunchy, and cooked with real beef tallow—no seed oils here.

But what exactly is beef tallow, and why is it such a game-changer for our chips? Beef tallow is the rendered fat from beef. It’s been used in cooking for centuries, prized for its rich flavor and high smoke point. Unlike many modern oils, which can break down under heat and introduce off-flavors or unhealthy compounds, beef tallow remains stable, even when heated to high temperatures. This makes it the ideal fat for frying, ensuring our chips are crispy and golden without any unwanted flavor. When it comes to preparation, we use the kettle-cooked method, a traditional approach that slow-fries the chips in small batches. This method enhances the texture, giving each chip that perfect crunch while locking in the flavor of the tallow. Compared to chips fried in seed oils, our Beef Tallow Potato Chips have better heat stability, a cleaner, richer flavor, and fewer additives. Seed oils like canola or sunflower oil can leave an oily aftertaste, while beef tallow adds a subtle, savory depth that makes each bite more satisfying. Plus, with our chips, you’ll never find any industrial processing or mystery ingredients. But what really sets our chips apart is the tallow itself. We use American Wagyu beef tallow, sourced from our own heritage-quality Wagyu cattle. This beef is known for its exceptional marbling, which translates into a tallow with a smooth, luxurious texture and an unmatched depth of flavor. It’s this Wagyu tallow that gives our chips their signature richness and authenticity. Learn more about how we use beef tallow in cooking → Why Choose Chips Without Seed Oil There’s been a growing interest in seed-oil-free snacks, and that’s because more and more people are looking for options that align with their preferences for more natural, minimally processed ingredients. While seed oils like canola, sunflower, and soybean oil are widely used in the food industry and are perfectly safe for consumption, many individuals are seeking alternatives due to concerns over industrial processing and the desire for simpler, more traditional ingredients. At Snake River Farms, we’re always looking for ways to create snacks that deliver the best in both flavor and quality. That’s why we chose beef tallow for our chips. It’s a cooking fat that’s been used for centuries, offering a natural, clean flavor that adds a richness to our chips you won’t find in many other snacks today. Here are a few reasons why we love cooking with beef tallow: Naturally high smoke point: Beef tallow can withstand higher temperatures without breaking down, ensuring that our chips fry to crispy perfection without losing any flavor. No industrial processing: Unlike many seed oils, which often go through heavy refining, our beef tallow is rendered with care, keeping it as natural and pure as possible. Richer, fuller flavor: The deep, savory flavor of beef tallow complements the potatoes in a way that seed oils simply can’t match. The result is a snack that’s not just crispy, but also satisfying and full of depth. For those who prefer a more natural cooking fat, beef tallow offers a time-honored alternative that’s both flavorful and simple. We believe in keeping things real—using high-quality ingredients that bring out the best in every bite. Taste Profile: Golden, Crisp, and Deeply Savory When you take a bite of Snake River Farms Beef Tallow Potato Chips, you’ll immediately notice the perfect balance of crispness and richness. The light crunch is just the beginning. These chips are slow-fried in Wagyu beef tallow, giving them a satisfying depth of flavor that lingers—subtle notes of beef umami add a savory layer that elevates the traditional potato chip experience. But these chips aren’t just for snacking. They’re the ideal companion for your next meal. Their rich, full-bodied taste pairs perfectly with a wide variety of dishes, from steak night to BBQs and even gourmet dips. Whether you’re pairing them with your favorite cut of beef or enjoying them as part of a larger spread, these chips bring an elevated touch to every bite. How to Enjoy Beef Tallow Potato Chips Our Beef Tallow Potato Chips are perfect straight from the bag, but they can also elevate any dish where you'd typically use traditional chips.

This is perfect for casual gatherings or parties.   The Story Behind Our Beef Tallow At Snake River Farms, we don’t just create products; we honor the heritage of our ingredients. Our beef tallow is a natural byproduct of our American Wagyu program, which means we’re using every part of the animal, embracing a more sustainable approach to cooking. This is a return to the way things used to be, where nothing went to waste, and each element of the animal was celebrated for its unique contribution. Tallow has been used for centuries as the preferred fat for frying, prized for its rich, clean flavor and high smoke point. In fact, chips were originally cooked in tallow until the 1990s, when cost-saving measures and the quest for longer shelf life led to a widespread switch to seed oils. These oils, while cheaper and more shelf-stable, don't bring the same depth of flavor or craftsmanship that tallow offers. Today, we're bringing tallow back—not just as a nostalgic throwback, but as a conscious choice. Our Wagyu beef tallow is rendered with the same care we put into our beef, ensuring a product that’s as rich in flavor as it is in tradition. By choosing beef tallow, we’re honoring an old-world technique that puts quality, sustainability, and real flavor at the forefront. In a world of mass production, our use of beef tallow is a reminder of the simpler, more sustainable ways of cooking—where quality ingredients and time-honored methods come together to create something truly special.

A Guide to Winter Grilling When the temperature drops and snow starts to fall, many grillers retire their equipment for the season. But for Chris Schemm of Team SRF, winter is just another opportunity to fire up his Big Green Egg. Based in Green Bay, Wisconsin — where January averages a frosty 26°F — Chris proves that great barbecue doesn’t stop when summer ends. I’m outside all winter cooking the same things as the summer — steaks, brisket, whatever. I do hot and fast cooking and my share of low and slow. Cold weather brings unique grilling challenges, but with the right gear, preparation, and mindset, you can cook confidently year-round. Whether you’re using a Big Green Egg, charcoal, gas, or pellet grill, these winter grilling tips will help you succeed.   Chris Schemm’s Winter Grilling Tips Allow Extra Time to Preheat Frigid air means your grill takes longer to reach the desired temperature. Be patient and give it the time it needs before placing food on the grate. Stock Up on Fuel Grills work harder in cold temperatures. Whether you use charcoal, gas or wood pellets, expect to burn more fuel than usual just to maintain cooking temperature. Plan ahead and keep extra on hand. Clear a Path to Your Grill Before you start cooking, shovel a safe walkway and clear snow or ice from around the grill. Make sure all vents and lids are free of snow so your grill can function properly. Light the Area Winter days are short. Make sure your grill station is well-lit so you can see what you're doing safely — especially if you're grilling after dark. Use a Wireless Thermometer No need to hover outside in the cold. A Bluetooth thermometer — like the ones from Meater or ThermoWorks — lets you monitor internal temperatures from your cozy kitchen. Keep the Lid Closed It’s tempting to peek, but lifting the lid lets out valuable heat. Trust your thermometer, keep the lid shut and let your grill do its job. Prep Ingredients Indoors Cold air can freeze your herbs, sauces and prep ingredients in seconds. Keep everything inside until it’s time to cook to ensure quality and convenience. Dress Warm, But Smart Layer up but avoid anything loose or dangling that could catch fire — like a long scarf. Chris protects his hands with insulated grill mitts, which serve double duty: heat protection and warmth. Grill in a Protected (But Open) Area Chris built a pergola over his grill to shield it from wind and snow. Just remember: protected doesn’t mean enclosed. Never grill inside a garage or anywhere without proper ventilation — safety first. Embrace the Chill Grilling in winter isn’t just doable — it can be deeply rewarding. The contrast of the sizzling grill against a snowy backdrop makes for a memorable cooking experience. With Chris Schemm’s advice and a little extra prep, you can enjoy smoky, flame-kissed meals no matter the season. So bundle up, spark the coals and show winter who’s boss.

Follow these steps for a tender, juicy roast with a golden crust. Choosing Your Roast Plan for 1 pound per guest; leftovers are a holiday bonus. Bone-in preferred for maximum flavor and presentation. Learn more about bone-in vs. boneless Part 1: Preparation & Dry Brining Rest the roast at room temperature for 2 hours. This ensures even cooking. Rub with 1 teaspoon kosher salt per pound on all surfaces. Refrigerate uncovered for 8 to 72 hours to dry brine. Bring to room temperature again 2 to 3 hours before cooking.   Dry brining is crucial — it gives you a golden exterior and perfectly seasoned interior. Even a quick 8-hour brine will make a noticeable difference.   Part 2: Low & Slow Method (Restaurant-Quality) For the patient cook who wants perfectly pink meat edge-to-edge: Preheat oven to 250°F. Roast until internal temperature reaches 125 to 130°F. Optional: increase oven to 500°F for 5 to 10 minutes to crisp the exterior. Rest 30 to 60 minutes before slicing. This method produces the most evenly cooked prime rib. Use your eyes as much as your thermometer — the final sear is optional if your crust is already perfect. Part 3: Time-Pressed Method If you’re short on time but still want excellent results: Preheat oven to 425°F (375°F convection). Roast 2 hours, or until internal temp reaches 95 to105°F. Rest 1 hour at room temperature.   Carryover cooking is your friend. Pulling the roast early ensures medium-rare perfection even under time pressure. Part 4:Temperature & Equipment Rare: 120°F | Medium-Rare: 130°F | Medium: 145°F max Oven-safe probe thermometer with alarm recommended Resting: minimum 30 minutes, ideally 45 to 60 minutes A thermometer is non-negotiable. I leave mine in while resting to see exactly where the temperature ends up. Part 5: Slicing & Portions Cut 2 to 3” slabs first, then slice into smaller pieces. Guests can choose their preferred doneness, and you maximize yield. Family-style serving is more relaxed — each person can take exactly what they want.   Make-Ahead Holiday Sides Holiday entertaining is easier when sides are prepped ahead. From creamy twice-baked potatoes to perfectly roasted carrots, these recipes can be made in advance so you can focus on your prime rib and enjoy the day with family and friends. Twice Baked Potatoes This classic side is perfect for entertaining and can be prepared entirely in advance. Assemble and refrigerate up to 3 days before serving, then bake when ready. Quantities are based on 12-oz russet potatoes, serving 2 (1 potato per person). Ingredients: 2 large russet potatoes (~12 oz each) Oil and salt for rubbing potatoes ¼ cup butter ¼ cup sour cream ½ cup grated cheddar cheese, divided ¼ cup sliced scallions, divided ½ teaspoon salt (or to taste) 2 tablespoons bacon, cooked and chopped (optional) Instructions: First Bake: Preheat oven to 375°F. Wash and pat dry potatoes; prick all over with a fork. Rub lightly with oil and salt. Bake until tender, about 1 hour. Prepare Filling: While potatoes bake, cook and chop bacon (if using) and gather remaining ingredients. Remove potatoes from oven, keeping it at 375°F. Let potatoes cool until safe to handle. (Tip: Disposable gloves make this easier.) Assemble: Cut the tops off the potatoes (save for potato skins if desired). Scoop out the flesh and break up gently with a fork. Mix potato flesh with butter, sour cream, bacon, half the cheese, half the scallions, and salt. For best results, use a stand mixer until smooth. Stuff the potato shells with the mixture. Top with remaining cheddar cheese. At this point, potatoes can be refrigerated up to 3 days. Second Bake: Bake at 375°F for 30 minutes, rotating once halfway through. Potatoes are ready when cheese is golden and slightly puffy. Garnish with remaining scallions before serving.   These potatoes can be made completely ahead of time, freeing you to focus on the prime rib and other dishes on the big day.   Perfect Roasted Carrots Most roasted carrot recipes skip a crucial step: parboiling. This two-step method ensures perfectly tender, creamy carrots every time. You can prep them up to 3 days in advance, making them ideal for holiday entertaining. Roasting raw carrots directly in a hot oven can leave the centers undercooked — the water step is essential. Ingredients: 3 lbs. fresh carrots (any variety) Salt for boiling water Oil for roasting (your preference) Additional salt for seasoning 2 to 3 tablespoon butter Fresh lemon juice for serving Salsa verde (optional) Chef Tip: Make-Ahead Option— Roast carrots a few hours in advance and rewarm in the oven before serving. Instructions: Prepare Carrots: Decide on your carrot prep method: Large grocery store carrots: peel and chop as desired Petite bunched carrots: wash well and leave whole Place carrots in a large pot with plenty of boiling, salted water. Taste the water — it should be pleasantly seasoned. Boil until tender throughout, longer than you might expect. This is not a quick blanch — the goal is fully cooked cores. Remove carrots and spread on a sheet pan in a single layer to cool completely. Roast to Finish: Preheat oven to 400°F. Toss pre-cooked carrots with oil and lightly season with salt if needed. Arrange in a single layer on a sheet pan. Roast for about 20 minutes, until edges begin to brown. Add butter and roast 5 more minutes, letting it brown slightly for a warm, nutty flavor. Drizzle with fresh lemon juice before serving. Serve with salsa verde if desired.   The parboil ensures the inside is tender while roasting adds flavor and a touch of caramelization. It’s the difference between ‘good’ and ‘restaurant-quality’ carrots. Chef’s Note: Quick Green Veggie Add-On: Steam asparagus or green beans, then season with butter, salt, and pepper for a fast, fresh addition to your holiday plate. Universal Green Herb Sauce This versatile sauce is inspired by chimichurri, salsa verde, and herb sauces from around the world. It’s incredibly flexible — you can adjust the ingredients to suit your tastes or the dish you’re serving. It pairs beautifully with grilled meats, roasted vegetables, or fish, and makes about 2 cups (a strong pint). Base Ingredients: 8 ounces fresh soft herbs, peppers, or seeds (see optional additions) 2¾ tablespoon fresh lemon juice 1½ ounce ice ¾ cup olive oil 1 clove garlic, coarsely chopped 1 teaspoon chili sauce (house chili sauce or Sriracha) ½ teaspoon fish sauce 1½ teaspoon salt Optional Additions: Horseradish Capers Pickles Instructions: Combine all ingredients in a food processor or high-powered blender (like a Vitamix) for the smoothest results. Blend until you achieve a relatively smooth paste. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. Add more lemon, salt, or chili sauce depending on your preference. This sauce is incredibly forgiving — start simple, then taste and tweak. It’s perfect for adding brightness and depth to your holiday vegetables or your prime rib.   Flourless Chocolate Cake This decadent dessert is technically a chocolate soufflé. It will puff beautifully in the oven and naturally deflate as it cools — this is completely normal. Embrace the rustic, slightly sunken appearance; it’s part of the cake’s charm. Serves 8 to 12. Ingredients: 6 tablespoons unsalted butter (3 oz.), plus more for pan Cocoa powder, for dusting 8 ounces bittersweet or semisweet chocolate, finely chopped 6 large eggs, separated ½ cup granulated sugar (100 g) Confectioner’s sugar, for dusting Sweetened whipped cream, for serving Instructions: Prepare Pan and Oven: Preheat oven to 275°F with rack in center position. Butter the bottom and sides of a 9-inch springform pan. Dust the buttered pan with cocoa powder and set aside.   Make Chocolate Base: Melt chocolate and butter together in a double boiler to form a smooth ganache. Whisk in the egg yolks. (Note: mixture may appear “broken” — this is normal.)   Prepare Meringue and Combine: In a stand mixer, beat egg whites with granulated sugar until glossy stiff peaks form. Fold ¼ of the meringue into the chocolate mixture to lighten it. Gently fold in the remaining egg whites until just combined.   Bake and Serve: Pour batter into the prepared pan. Bake 45 to 50 minutes, until the cake pulls away from the sides and is set and puffed in the center. Cool completely on a wire rack, then remove the sides of the springform pan. Serve at room temperature, dusted with confectioner’s sugar and topped with whipped cream if desired. Don’t worry if the center sinks slightly — that’s what makes a flourless chocolate cake rich, rustic, and indulgent. For extra flair, serve with fresh berries or a drizzle of green herb sauce for a subtle contrast.   The Adonis Cocktail This elegant cocktail balances sweet, fruity, and bitter flavors. Complex yet approachable, it has a low alcohol content, making it the perfect aperitif to start your holiday evening. Ingredients: 1½ ounces dry sherry (Amontillado or Fino) 1½ ounces sweet vermouth 2 dashes orange bitters Orange twist, for garnish Instructions: Fill a mixing glass with ice and shake the sherry, sweet vermouth, and orange bitters until chilled. Strain into a coupe or small cocktail glass. Garnish with an orange twist and serve neat.   This cocktail is all about balance — take the time to shake it just enough to chill without diluting. The orange twist adds a bright, aromatic finish that pairs beautifully with the richness of a prime rib holiday meal.   Closing & Holiday Tips Chef Alex reminds us: focus on the center-of-the-plate, invest in quality ingredients, and prep what you can ahead of time. A multi-course meal doesn’t have to be stressful when you plan wisely. Find Your Perfect Holiday Prime Rib →   Follow this plan and your holiday meal will be remembered long after the season ends.

The Art of the Tablescape Pull out the garlands, light the candles, and bring back a word you only hear during the most festive times of year: tablescape. More than a centerpiece, it’s the art of setting the scene and the mood when you decorate the table.A well-designed tablescape does more than just look beautiful — it creates a sense of warmth and thoughtfulness for your guests. “A great tablescape makes guests feel special. They see the amount of effort and care you put into table design,” says Lindsey Elliott, Lead Designer at Linen + Loot, an event design and rental company. “The holidays are emotional. It’s about the feelings, the warmth, the families. Decorating is a way to enhance that.” Creating a beautiful holiday table isn’t about spending big; it’s about thoughtful choices. Combine meaningful details with smart design to craft a welcoming space that feels personal, memorable, and true to your style. “Use pieces you already own in unexpected ways,” says Lindsey. “Or rent décor for an affordable, sustainable way to get a different look.” To inspire your holiday gatherings, Linen + Loot designed three distinctive holiday tablescapes — each paired with a Snake River Farms American Wagyu centerpiece that transforms your dinner into an unforgettable experience.   Modern Tablescape: Clean & Layered A modern tablescape is sleek but warm, using layers, textures, and a limited color palette to create quiet impact. How to Create It: Play with height: Mix low greenery like garlands with medium accents (small trees, ornaments) and tall candlesticks for dimension. Stick to a palette: Choose 3 to 4 complementary colors — think black, green, and metallic — and repeat them for a cohesive, minimalistic effect. Mix and match: Alternate between two different plate settings or napkin colors to add subtle variety.   Perfect Pairing: Wagyu Tenderloin Roast A tablescape this refined deserves an equally elegant centerpiece. The Snake River Farms American Wagyu Tenderloin Roast is the ultimate showpiece for a modern table — sophisticated, tender, and designed to impress. Complete the look with this showstopping roast recipe: Tenderloin Roast with Brandy Peppercorn Sauce for a steakhouse-style presentation that complements clean lines and bold flavors. Shop Now: Explore Snake River Farms Roasts →   Traditional Tablescape: Warm & Classic This style blends timeless holiday charm — rich reds, natural greenery, and candlelight — with thoughtful personal touches. It’s perfect for creating a cozy, welcoming table that celebrates family, tradition, and the joy of gathering. How to Create It: Light & Life: Candles instantly transform the mood, while live greenery or flowers add texture, warmth, and natural beauty. Make It Personal: Small details make guests feel truly seen. Tie personalized name cards with ribbon and a holly sprig, or place a wrapped gift or holiday card at each setting for a delightful surprise. Reimagine Family Heirlooms: Vintage dishware, silver, or glassware from your own collection feels meaningful yet contemporary when styled in fresh ways. Showcase the Food: Use risers — Lindsey recommends repurposing acrylic computer stands — to lift dishes above centerpieces, freeing table space and creating visual interest. Comfort Counts: Cushioned seats encourage guests to relax and linger. Linen + Loot used Blush Creek’s Queen Louis chairs to combine comfort with classic elegance.   Perfect Pairing: Wagyu Bone-In Prime Rib Roast For a warm, classic table, nothing makes a statement like the Snake River Farms Wagyu Bone-In Prime Rib Roast. Rich, juicy, and visually stunning, it’s the ultimate centerpiece for holiday entertaining. Complete the look with this showstopping roast recipe: Bone-In Holiday Prime Rib Roast with Au Jus.

It’s ideal for gatherings that embrace natural textures, rustic accents, and meaningful details. How to Create It:  Work With What You Have: A deep blue wall or neutral backdrop sets the tone for a nontraditional color scheme. Incorporate repurposed items like library lamps or a plaid scarf as a table runner for character. Bring the Outdoors In: Add tree trimmings, pinecones, or antler sheds to infuse organic textures and soften the table. Layer Your Setting: Start with natural wood or woven chargers to anchor the table. Add leather napkin rings, personalized name cards, or textured linens for extra warmth. Add Meaning: Incorporate family heirlooms, hand-stitched napkins, or vintage glassware to create a sense of history and personal connection.

These tips focus on making the most of high-quality American Wagyu beef while keeping preparation simple and stress-free. Make-Ahead Suggestions Season and prep your beef in advance: For roasts like tenderloin or ribeye, we recommend seasoning the day before. This allows the flavors to develop while freeing up time on the big day. Prepare sides early: Mashed root vegetables, roasted potatoes, or sauces can be made ahead and gently reheated. Plan oven space: If you’re cooking multiple dishes, pre-cook or chill some sides so your beef gets the oven time it deserves. Timing and Resting Tips Follow suggested cook times for each cut: We share detailed cooking guidance in our How to Cook a Prime Rib and Guide: How to Cook a Steak posts. Rest your roast or steaks: After cooking, let the meat rest 10 to 20 minutes. This simple step ensures the juices redistribute, giving every bite maximum flavor. Use a thermometer: we recommends checking the thickest part of the cut to hit perfect doneness every time.   Cooking Methods Roasting: Ideal for tenderloin or ribeye roasts, creating a tender, flavorful centerpiece. Reverse sear: Slow-cook first, then sear for a rich, golden crust. Sous vide: Provides precise temperature control for consistent results, perfect for American Wagyu. Slow-cooking brisket: A cozy, hands-off approach for a tender, juicy cut. “This was the most tender Brisket I've eaten.
