tallow has a lot of stearic acid in it, 19%, another major source of it is cacao butter. there is some in cream too but not nearly as much and the proportion in young cow meat (veal) is a lot lower
myself, and many people who have tried beef focused carnivore diets have frequently reported a dramatic improvement in satiety from eating a primarily beef based diet and the effect is reducing weight, part of this is to do with stearic acid, which is a major source of precursors for hormones that signal satiety.
ghee is good but i personally prefer beef tallow, and it has a more pleasant taste than ghee, IMO... tallow is also quite cheap, i got 10kg of belgian beef tallow for 6 euro/kg
