1. Form the ground beef into 4 equal-sized patties, about 1/2-inch thick.

2. Heat the tallow in a large skillet over medium-high heat.

3. Add the beef patties and cook for 3-4 minutes per side, or until cooked through and browned.

4. Place a slice of cheese on top of each patty and let it melt for 1 minute.

5. Toast the sourdough bread slices in the same skillet until golden brown on both sides.
