Brisket is halal as long as the cow has been reared and slaughtered in accordance with Islamic law. This includes ensuring the animal is alive and 100% healthy at the time of slaughter. The cow isn’t allowed to be stunned before slaughter, and the carcass must drain fully of blood before the butchering process.
Brisket typically comes from a cow. The cut is taken from the breast section beneath the first five ribs, behind the foreshank. Although rare, brisket can also come from a pig, from the same area on the animal. All of our Halal brisket products are beef. Pork brisket isn’t found in your usual supermarket, but it can be sourced from some specialist butchers.
Halal beef ‘brisket’ is universal in the UK and US. In France and Canada, they refer to brisket as ‘poitrine’, with a flat cut being referred to as ‘poitrine de boeuf’. Brisket is also used in many different dishes, where the name will change depending on how it's used. For example, corned beef and pastrami.
Halal beef brisket holds a lot of connective tissues and muscles, which produce the best flavours and textures when broken down - this is best done by slow cooking. If you are a keen smoker, try cooking your brisket on the BBQ for delicious hints of smoke.
Marinate overnight either using a dry rub or by injecting the brisket with your favourite sauces. You could experiment with different flavour combinations, as beef brisket absorbs all flavours well.
Place your halal brisket on indirect heat, fat side up, and shut the lid. Cook for 6-8 hours, spraying your brisket with apple juice every hour. Your brisket should reach an internal temperature of 90°C. Once cooked, leave to rest for half an hour before slicing and serving.
Serve your tender halal brisket alongside tangy coleslaw, a fresh summer salad, and grilled corn on the cob. On the rare occasion that you have brisket leftovers the next day, try incorporating your brisket into a sandwich or wrap.
Yes, beef brisket is relatively inexpensive when compared to other popular BBQ beef cuts. You get a large amount of meat with this cut, making it a cost-effective way to feed family and friends.
We’d recommend serving 200 grams of beef brisket per person. The amount per person might change depending on what you are serving alongside the brisket.
