Candied Facon is so good, we cannot guarantee any of it will make it to the table.
Facon has become quite a staple in our home. I like to serve it over a sizzling burger, Shabbos day meal as part of a charcuterie board, or sometimes as part as an appetizer that needed some extra oomph.
Facon is versatile and super easy to prepare. The downside is that it is really very fatty.
This is why I like to use a cooling rack. A lot of the fat will drip down and, it will render a crispier facon as well.

What’s the difference between facon and beef fry? Always wondered.
I’ve never seen a product called Facon in any grocery store. Where can I find it? Or can I use something else?

Tried this today ! It is AMAZING!!!!!!
Can I make it without the cooling rack?
How far in advance can this be made?
