Because they're dumb and think that eating fat = getting fat.

I throw the fat cap in a hot pan before I do anything else. Render that shit down and cook the steak in it. Total game changer.

The fat on lower quality meat tastes gross to me. But on high quality stuff it's dope. I only cut off a bit after I cook it if it's going to be just a straight mouthful of nothing but fat. The texture of straight fat makes me want to puke.

Depends on the cut and the fat. Some of that stuff is just too thick. The fat cap on a vacuum sealed strip roast or rib roast is pretty ridiculous.

I tend to buy whole roasts and trim it myself so I have a little different perspective. I never trim a piece I buy ready for the grill.

They are gay faggots.... I literally started to buy and self-butcher meat animals to get more fat.

Because they are retarded barbaric faggots who have no business making steaks or living in civilisation

To make less fatty or can cook the trims separately and make a gravy. When cooking on the grill or over high heat definitely want to keep the fat on.

the only reason i would do that is if i had a really shitty bbq that cant handle high temperatures. thats the only reason i can think of to cut off the fat

If you grill at a high temperature the fat is flammable and can burn up the steak.

I do sometimes cut the fat off meat I'm about to cook and toss it into my frying pan or griddle to provide a grease layer to cook the meat in. It's a better move than using olive oil or some other plant oil. It keep the meat from sticking on the surface and gives the meat a distinctly different after taste depending on what oil you would use instead. I also jar the leftover grease to add to soups in winter. Depending on the bones mass, I do the same with those as well.

Good ideas.

Yea, put the bones in a ziplock bag and they should keep for a few months in the freezer until you need them. As for animal fat, get yourself a set of Pyrex ramekin bowls and save a few glass salsa jars. You pour the grease into the ramekin, let it cool briefly, and then pour the grease into the cleaned out salsa jar to store in your fridge. If you bake on a regular basis, just warm up the grease and use it instead of vegetable oil or shortening to the same amount. It really adds to the taste and smell, to say nothing of the money you save.

Nice, thanks for more details. I save bacon fat already.
