Halal Beef Mince

Choose 5 percent steak mince when you want clean beef flavour with almost nothing to drain, 12 percent chuck or 15 percent brisket for everyday keema, kofta, bolognese and lasagne, and 20 to 25 percent or 30 percent for burgers and meatballs, where the fat keeps the patty from drying out on a grill. Fat renders out during cooking, so a 30 percent mince loses noticeably more volume in the pan than a 5 percent one.

Yes, every beef mince on this page is halal, from the 5 percent steak mince to the 30 percent burger grade. We buy only non-stunned halal meat, and the beef comes through third-party halal-certified suppliers into Noori Halal Ltd, the family butchery founded in East London in 1993. Several of the mince products also carry Red Tractor Approved on the title, and the current supplier certificates are published at /pages/halal-certificate.

Yes, you can buy beef mince online from Onlinemeatshop for delivery anywhere in the UK. Nationwide orders travel by tracked DPD, dispatched the next working day and delivered the day after, Tuesday to Saturday, with dates bookable up to a month ahead. In East London our own vans deliver Monday to Saturday, 11:00 to 20:00, if you order by 23:59 the night before. Mince is vacuum sealed and packed with ice gel packs that hold 0 to 4 degrees Celsius for up to 72 hours.

Fat level makes no difference to how long mince keeps: every grade here holds up to 6 days in the fridge from delivery, or up to 12 months frozen if it goes in on the day it arrives. The vacuum seal is freezer safe, so the pack goes straight in. Freeze it in the portions you will actually cook, because mince thaws faster in a flat pack than in a solid block.

The leanest is the 5 percent fat Angus steak mince, sold as a Premium product. It has its own product page as well as a place in this collection, and the product page is the one to use when you already know which mince you want. Use this collection page instead when you are comparing 5 percent, 10 percent, 12 percent, 15 percent, 20 to 25 percent and 30 percent side by side.
