It is rendered beef or mutton fat. I believe the fat is put in boiling water and when the fat melts it's skimmed off the top. It can be stored for longer periods of time than suet.

Beef tallow is made from beef suet. It is used in cooking, soaps and more. It's used quite a bit in fast food places to deep fry potatoes because it can be used for quite a long time.

The USA is by far the biggest producer and exporter of beef tallow, with production accounting for approx. 25 to 30% of global oil and fat production. In the past, beef tallow was used in early cultures for lighting (woodchips soaked in beef tallow) soaps and ointments. Today, beef tallow is a major raw material used in the production of chemical intermediate products, such as fatty acids and fat alcohols. In addition to its principal uses in edible fats and oils, beef tallow is also used as baking and cooking fat, as well as in margarine production, which involves small amounts. With its similar fatty acid spectrum, beef tallow was formerly used to stretch cocoa butter.

That is simply another term for beef fat. Growing up we used it many times instead of butter for frying or other cooking.
