With that being said, can i use a beef tallow for a roux?

---

I make my own tallow when buying large slabs of beef with the fat cap and cook down that fat for tallow.

I will use it to make a roux and have done so many times with good results. I'm old school and prefer to make my rouxs low and slow most of the time, especially when needing a lot for a big pot of stew or gumbo, but it works fine.
