Questions people ask about our beef

Is your beef HMC certified?

Yes. Every cut of beef at Ikhlas Halal Butcher is HMC-certified halal. The Halal Monitoring Committee monitors the slaughter, the cutting plant and our shop, and the certificate is displayed at our counter on City Road, Bradford.

Which beef cut is best for nihari?

Beef shin, on the bone, is the cut for nihari. The bone marrow and connective tissue break down over a long, slow cook into the thick, glossy gravy that defines the dish. Ask for shin cut for nihari and we will portion it with the bone in.

What is the difference between diced beef and curry cut beef?

Diced beef is boneless, cut into even cubes for stews, keema-style dishes and kebabs. Curry cut beef is chopped through the bone, which gives more flavour to a slow-cooked curry. Both are cut to order; tell us the size you cook with.

Which beef steak should I buy for the grill?

Ribeye for flavour and marbling, sirloin for a leaner steak with a fat edge, fillet for tenderness. All three are cut to the thickness you ask for at the counter. Rump is the value choice and eats well when rested properly.

How much beef do I need for 10 people?

For a curry or nihari, allow 2.5kg of beef on the bone or 2kg boneless for ten adults. For steaks, one 250 to 300g steak each. Mince stretches further: 1.5kg of beef mince makes keema or burgers for ten.
