Bring Restaurant-Quality Halal Steaks to Your Kitchen

Finding premium Halal Steak can be rather difficult in the UK. We are here to simplify the process of finding the steak you’ve been craving. Heading to your local butchers for a steak can often lead to disappointment, as most halal butchers stock limited cuts or limited quantities. Often your local butcher has a premium price tag and no knowledge of how your steak was reared or what cut it is. Supermarkets also have limited cuts available. 

We believe everyone should have access to the best halal steak with ease, confidence and at a fair price. To make this possible, we work with a close network of trusted farmers and specialists to bring you the finest cuts you can trust. We ensure that all items are ethically reared, focusing on the animal's welfare. This means that animals are free to roam and are treated with fair living standards. We ensure all our animals are free from hormones, antibiotics, and unnecessary additives.

You can shop and dine with peace of mind that every steak is sourced from grass-fed, free-roaming cattle. Our steaks are well known for being extremely tender, full of naturally rich flavour and impressive marbling. 

Here at Saffron Alley, we aim to provide you with the finest quality of halal meat online, whatever you are craving, whether that is halal beef, halal chicken or halal lamb. Rest assured, you can add to your cart with peace of mind, knowing you will receive premium-quality halal meats delivered directly to your doorstep without compromising freshness.

Saffron Alley regularly updates its process to ensure that our products meet our strict halal standards. Focusing on ethically reared Tayyib (pure) meat improves overall taste and the dining experience, so you can dine with confidence in our processes. Our customer reviews speak for themselves. 

No more worrying about the smell of meat in the fridge or why your steak isn’t cooking the way you’d like it to. Our quality speaks for itself. When you purchase from Saffron Alley, rest assured you are ordering premium cuts and steaks you cannot get at your local butcher, delivered straight to your door. Our experienced butchers take extra steps to ensure all steaks are freshly cut to preference, wet-aged to enhance taste profile and texture, vacuum-sealed, and delivered chilled to maintain freshness. You can also pop these straight in the freezer and take them out when you are craving a steak.

To make things even better, we believe in a fair price guarantee. After all, halal shouldn’t cost more. We're continuously improving our processes and offerings, including free delivery on orders over £40.

The Saffron Alley story began many years ago through a love for steak and a mission to find the best cuts. This mission will never end, as we are committed to ensuring you can always buy the finest cuts and enjoy them in the comfort of your own home. Gone are the days of lining up at the butcher and never finding the cuts you crave, or of the butcher having no idea what type of steak you are buying. Here at Saffron Alley, you can get all your favourites, whether that is Halal Wagyu, Sirloin, Rib Eye or a combination. 

Wagyu Without The Restaurant Price Tag

Our cattle are fed for up to 600 days after weaning, resulting in rich marbling that's a treat for your taste buds and high in Omega-3 and Omega-6 fatty acids.

Whatever the cut, we have the Wagyu for you.

How do I cook my steak for a restaurant-style finish?

Preparing a meal at home that ticks all the boxes has never been easier. 

1. Take your steaks out of the fridge and packaging and let them sit for around 20-30 minutes to come to room temperature
2. Dry your steaks to make sure they are ready to season
3. Season your steaks with sea salt an hour before cooking.
4. Heat your pan of choice until searing hot. Add a little butter or oil to the pan if needed.
5. Add your steak to your pan and sear each side for just under 2 minutes (for a medium-rare finish). Keep an eye on your steak to make sure it doesn't overcook.
6. To enhance the flavour further, add pepper and thyme while cooking.
7. To really bring out the flavours, don’t forget a chef’s best secret: let your steak rest once you’ve finished cooking. Once the internal fat melts away, you will be left with a juicy, flavoursome masterpiece that will light up your taste buds.

Understanding the Differences Between Steak Cuts

Filet Mignon - a well-known cut of steak, recognised for its tenderness and flavour. This steak is typically cut from the smaller end of the tenderloin muscle and is very lean. Filet Mignon is a boneless cut with a subtle beefy flavour and a little marbling. If you’re looking for a luxurious, tender steak that will melt in your mouth, the Filet Mignon is the one for you.

The Filet Mignon is also known as Tenderloin Steak, Beef Loin Steak, Filet, filet de boeuf and the Tournedos.

Ribeye Steak - If you’re looking for a very tender steak with beautiful marbling and full of flavour, the Ribeye cut may be the one for you. The ribeye is a popular option and is known for being a juicy cut full of intense beefy flavour.  Ribeye steak is cut from the rib area of the cow and is perfect for grilling or pan-searing.

Ribeye steak isn't as tender as filet steak; however, the white fat cap and chew that come with ribeye steak make for a perfect combo. Ribeye steaks can either come boneless or with the rib bone attached. When the bone is still attached, it brings a unique flavour and can make the steak-eating experience much more fun.

The Ribeye Steak is also known as a Tomahawk Steak.

T-Bone Steak - This cut offers the best of both worlds: a New York strip and a soft, tender Filet Mignon, with a T-shaped bone between them. The T-bone steak is cut from the short loin. If you want to taste the softness of a fillet alongside the juiciness of a larger strip of the short loin.

Porterhouse Steak - The porterhouse is known as “the king of steaks”. It is similar to the T-Bone steak in cut, with notable differences. It includes a larger section of tenderloin and a larger piece of Filet Mignon. This steak has a rich, beefy flavour and is a large portion, perfect for a big appetite.

Sirloin Steak - Sirloin is cut from the large back muscle opposite the long, thin fillet steak. Sirloin steak is much bigger and beefier in flavour than fillet or rib-eye steaks. A nice balance between fat and yummy beef.

Tomahawk Steak - The Tomahawk is known for being richly marbled and perfectly tender, offering two distinct tasting experiences in one bite. Both the tender and lean flavours of a filet alongside the rich flavours of the strip. The Tomahawk comes from the rib section and comes on the bone, adding to the strong, beefy flavour.

Cook your steak right: cooking temperature

Once you’ve chosen your preferred finish/doneness (e.g., medium rare or well done), make sure you cook your steak to the right temperature.

Many people mistakenly think the best way to judge a steak is by colour, but the reality is, judging colour is both subjective and a poor indicator of doneness. Bearing in mind that slightly pink or dark rosy colour means a different thing to each individual. Additionally, the myoglobin (the protein responsible for how the meat's red colour behaves) is also affected by external factors such as certain vegetables or nitrates.

As well as this, many websites tell you that the steaks' doneness is affected by the type of steak; the reality is that all steaks experience a certain level of doneness at the same temperature. This is because, on a scientific level, the doneness of the steak is based on how the proteins are affected by the thermal energy they’ve been exposed to.

The easiest way to get the finish just right is to check the temperature with a digital thermometer.

So whether you’re cooking a Fillet, a Porterhouse, or a Ribeye, you can cook to the following temperatures:

Rare: 48 - 51ºC

Medium Rare: 52 - 54ºC

Medium: 57 - 62ºC

Medium Well: 63 - 68ºC

Well Done: 68ºC+

Not to worry, we are happy to help. We have lots of videos on our socials @Saffron_Alley sharing tips on how to cook properly so you don't accidentally overcook. 

Are your Steaks Halal?

Rest assured, all our products at Saffron Alley are Halal and meet our rigorous halal tayyib standards that adhere to Islamic Shariah guidance on how meat should be reared and slaughtered. This means that the animal must be raised safely and should have a high quality of life. The animals must be fed a vegetarian diet and must not be treated with any nasties such as growth hormones or antibiotics. When the animal is slaughtered, it must be cut at the jugular vein, carotid artery and windpipe. These rulings, among other criteria, mean our halal meat is classed as Tayyib, which also translates as pure. If you have any questions, feel free to reach out via info@saffronalley.com, and we will be more than happy to support you; after all, transparency is of utmost importance to us.
