Beef Fat Trimmings, Rib Eye Lip-Ons

Beef fat trimmings are the fatty pieces cut away from various beef cuts during preparation, especially common on roasts like brisket, ribeye lip-ons or other parts of the cow.  These trimmings are usually considered less desirable as standalone eating portions due to their texture and high fat content but are rich in flavor and nutrients.  While not the leanest part of the meat, they hold culinary value beyond being mere waste.
