Are Ribs Halal?

Pork ribs and pork cuts aren’t halal. Beef ribs are only halal if they follow guidelines, which don’t allow for stunning the animal before slaughter and ensuring the carcass drains of blood before butchering. Halal cattle live a 100% natural lifestyle, and are healthy before slaughter.

Where Do You Buy Halal Beef Ribs?

To ensure you are getting quality ribs that adhere to Islamic law, you must choose a producer that provides full traceability back to the producers, to ensure that no cross-contamination takes place during the butchering or shipping process.

How Do You BBQ Beef Ribs?

Prepare your ribs by trimming excess fat and silver skin from the top of the cut, before covering in olive oil and seasoning. Place on your BBQ, ensuring the ribs are away from direct heat.
