So my butcher just gave me a bunch of free beef fat trimmings.

Can I render this stuff into tallow? If so, how? If not, what do I do with it?

These are mostly the "hard" fat cut off the edges of steaks and some softer fat trimmed from roasts, etc. Definitely NOT the oh-so-wonderful suet. Some pieces still have small amounts of muscle meat attached.

Hack my (beef) fat, please.
