Ramadan BBQ Steak Fest with Halalnivore

Every year, FtL has its annual Ramadan BBQ that showcases some of the best online Halal meat delivery services available.

This year, we opted for Halalnivore who, since their inception last year, have built up a solid reputation as reliable, friendly and “credible suppliers for quality, fresh hand-cut meat with strict halal credentials”.

What makes them stand out from others, is their unique meat box concept, which includes vaccum-sealed meat packs to ensure absolute freshness and longevity, all of which is expertly packed in secure, polysterine-encased delivery boxes for maximum protection.

With a weekly nationwide delivery slot (Thursday), you can expect your order to be delivered promptly, with a series of systematic delivery reminders sent via text and/ or email along the way.

When Halalnivore say: “We are really excited to share our love of meat with you,” that’s clearly evident from the care and attention translated over in the packaging alone.

And with such an extensive range of steaks, it was inevitable that we’d opt for these (along, of course, with some 6oz Angus Beef Burgers).

GOURMET RUBS & SALTS

We also couldn’t resist their current range of gourmet rubs and salts, “hand mixed … in Dorset with freshly sourced and flavourful ingredients” and all for £3.99 each.

With clean and concise labeling so indicative of Halalnivore’s branding, these rubs sounded intriguing to say the least.

• Steak Night Special (42g) – Make halal steak night easier with our easy to use meat rub with flavourful herbs and spices. All you have to do is marinate your steaks in our special seasoning and olive oil for at least 1 hour before pan frying in oil and butter. After you let your halal steak rest before serving, lower the heat and pour in some cream in the same pan and let the cocoa powder infuse for a great steak sauce for a wholesome steak meal in minutes!
• Jalapeno & Lime Sea Salt (110g) – Crunchy sea salt crystals hand mixed with dried lime, for a citrus zest, and green jalapeño flakes for a spicy kick. The coarse sea salt brings out the true flavour. Use as a condiment or to season your steaks, chicken or fish.
• Himalayan Pink Salt with Rosemary & Garlic (110g) – Himalayan pink salt is one of the purest salts available and is derived from ancient sea salt deposits. We’ve mixed it up with a dash of rosemary and garlic to create something unique. Flavour your halal steaks and burger, but why stop there? You can use our pink salt to season chicken, fish and roasted veggies.
• Raise the Steaks (40g) – Enjoy Halalnivore’s version of the world famous Montreal steak seasoning. This meat rub is packed with lots of different flavours and a spicy kick. Marinate your steaks in seasoning and olive oil for at least 2 hours before pan frying in oil and butter or grilling on a bbq.

GOURMET STEAKS

With the meat expertly pre-cut and properly prepared, there was absolutely no need for us to make any of those additional inconvenient trimmings. On to the prep work.

Halal T-Bone Steak (16oz) – 2 Pack – £25.99

At Halalnivore we love all the cuts of steak, but there will always be a special, meaty place in our hearts for a beautiful T-bone Steak. Why? Because it’s actually two steaks in one: a richly flavoured sirloin on one side and a tender fillet on the other. What more could you want from a juicy gourmet halal cut of meat?

Our T-Bone’s are hand cut to perfection every time by expertly trained halal butchers.

Each pack contains – 2 x 16oz T-Bone Steaks (£12.99 per steak)

Halal Brazilian Sirloin Steak (8 oz) – 2 Pack – £12.99

Cut from the upper centre part of the cow, this is a popular cut. The extreme tenderness and marbling within a sirloin is present because the cow doesn’t use that part very much. This is extremely versatile cut that you can eat on it’s own or use for wraps, salads and sandwiches.

We recommend cooking this Medium rare to Medium.

Each pack contains – 2 x 8 oz Halal Brazilian Sirloin Steaks (£6.50 per steak)

Halal Australian Rump Steak (10 oz) – 2 Pack –  £12.99

A steak full of flavour, cut from the backside of the cow. It’s best to cook a rump thick and then slice into ribbons when serving. We recommend cooking this one a bit longer – around four/five minutes each side (depending on size). Best cooked medium to medium rare.

Each pack contains – 2 x 10 oz Australian Rump Steaks (£6.50 per steak)

Halal Brazilian Rib Eye Steak (8 oz) – 2 Pack –  £11.99

Rib eye comes from a cow’s rib section and is a classic cut. It is known for being tender and having a rich a flavour because of the fat marbled within the steak.

We recommend cooking it medium rare to medium.

Each pack contains – 2 x 8 oz Halal Brazilian Rib Eye Steaks (£6.00 per steak)

Halal Fillet Steak (7 oz) – 2 Pack –  £16.99

The KING of steaks! A very lean and tender steak that comes from inside the sirloin. This part of the cow isn’t worked at all, so it has no fat. It needs very little cooking time, we recommend it is cooked medium rare to rare.

Each pack contains – 2 x 7 oz UK Halal Beef Fillet Steaks (£8.50 per steak)

GOURMET BURGERS

Angus Beef Burgers (6oz) – 5 Pack – £5.99

The beef in our halal burgers comes from a small number of British suppliers. The halal burgers are prepared using fresh beef: never frozen or previously frozen.

Our burgers are made by a small, highly trained team using burger machines specially imported from America. They are widely acclaimed to be the best in their field because of the unique way they form the burger, resulting in a less dense patty which cooks quickly and evenly.

Together with the quality of the beef itself, this makes for a tender burger, full of flavour, with a satisfying bite.

The halal burgers come ‘ready to cook’ and don’t need any additional marinating. Although you are free to add any spices on top!

All burgers are Gluten Free.

Each pack contains – 5 x 6oz (170g) Halal Angus Beef Burgers (£1.20 per burger)

What we ended with at the end of the evening was an utterly memorable Ramadan BBQ and superb food courtesy of some of the best cuts of lamb and beef you’re likely to find.
