I like trying out new things and came across beef dripping which i purchased.

What can i do with it? I was thinking that i could use a spoonful to flavour sauces, or fry it and then add rice for a beefy stir fry.

Would this be okay? Could i spread this on bread or does it need to be cooked first?

What do you do with beef dripping and what can be done with it?

I think my mother used to use it for roasting potatoes in although I think goose fat is more popular for that these days.
My Dad and brother used to spread the dregs of it (with the crispy bits of beef) onto a slice of toast.

I used to love a dripping with a sprinkle of salt sarnie when I was a kid.

From Wikipedia:
"Pork or beef dripping can be served cold, spread on bread and sprinkled with salt and pepper (bread and dripping). If the flavourful brown sediment and stock from the roast has settled to the bottom of the dripping and coloured it brown, then in parts of Yorkshire it is known colloquially as a "mucky fat" sandwich".

It makes great Yorkshire puddings:

Now Chris has mentioned Yorkshire Puddings I remember I used to use it for that.

If its the filtered stuff in a jar, then it wont have a lot of flavour and would principally be used for roasting spuds and other veg or doing yorkshires. I can't imagine that it would flavour a sauce or stir fry.

You use it to roast things. Produces a more artery clogging but tasty alternative to all those healthy oils. As I recall my mother used to use little else in the oven. Not used it for years & years though. Ah those were the days.

My mother used it to make stovies-yummy

The best chips in the world that what you can do with it, but you will need enough for your chip pan.

The jelly can be used to flavour sauces add to roast potatoes.

As kid we often had bread and dripping with salt and pepper for supper

I used to ask for a slice of beef fat when buying my weekend joint just to do the roast potatoes and Yorkshire puds. No taste better IMO. Waitrose sells frozen roast spuds cooked in beef dripping. Lovely.
