What is a good substitute for beef fat?
Others have suggested pork lard (bacon lard of course), duck fat, or other assorted fats that can work very well too. I have made Yorkshire pudding with the drippings of a roast chicken. I do not eat a lot of beef, nor lamb, but chicken works very nicely, if not as traditional. I make a roast chicken for dinner.
What can I use in place of beef drippings for Yorkshire puddings?

How is beef dripping made?
Dripping is the UK term for rendered beef fat trimmings. So called because it was originally made from the fat that dripped into the pan when roasting meat. We gather beef fat trimmings in a large pan and gently heat them until they melt. The liquid is then poured into tubs where it solidifies.
What can I use instead of lard?
butter
If you don’t have lard, or are squeamish about introducing pork products into your pie, you can substitute with shortening or butter. Be warned that while shortening is 100\% fat, butter is usually around 85\% fat and 15\% water which may affect the texture of your baked goods.

What can I use instead of tallow?
Coconut oil Since the ingredient has a high smoke point, it works well in recipes that require frying or cooking at high heat. Similar to beef tallow, it can also be used in the same quantity as lard in any recipe; meaning if your original dish calls a cup of lard, you can simply use a cup of coconut oil instead.
