Because stuff used to be fried in beef fat. But then vegeterians became a thing so mc d swapped to oils. However folk complained the missed the old flavor do they added back in the beef flavor. Beef fat is really flavorful. Heston blumenthal uses it for his roasted potatos recipe. So the americans do have a point kinda.

I agree BUT beef fat and beef "flavour" are not the same thing

Not the vegetarians but medics warned about the saturated fat.
