Halal boneless lamb shoulder is British lamb, Certified Halal, slaughtered by the non-stunned method. The bone comes out and the shoulder is cut to order into steaks, dice, strips or mince, packed from 500g to 4kg, fat-on or fat-off. It's the everyday shoulder cut for curries, biryani, kebabs and slow-cooked stews.

Boneless, Cut To Order

This is 100% British lamb with the shoulder bone taken out, so every portion is muscle, not a joint to carve. Every animal is Antibiotic-free and Growth hormone-free, and it's prepared fat-on or fat-off. It's sold in packs from 500g up to 4kg, never as a single roasting joint.

Isn't This Just A Whole Bone-In Shoulder?

No — a whole bone-in shoulder gets boned, rolled and tied for slicing after roasting, and that's not how this one is sold. This shoulder arrives boneless and cut to order: steaks, dice, strips, chunks or mince, packed from 500g to 4kg for portioned cooking rather than a whole joint.

How It's Cut, Prepared And Packed

  • Steaks, 225-250g or 450-500g
  • Galbi-style minute steak, cut to about 1cm thick
  • Diced, 10-15g, 25-30g or 50-60g
  • Chunks, 160-180g
  • Strips, 20-30g or 50-60g
  • Mince

Pick any style fat-on or fat-off, in 500g, 1kg, 2kg or 4kg packs.

Cooking It: Biryani And Beyond

Diced shoulder is the classic base for a lamb biryani — brown it hard before it goes into the rice. Steaks and chunks work well in slow braises and curries, while mince makes koftas and kebabs. Thaw it fully in the fridge first; this cut takes about 12 hours to defrost.

Butcher's tip: pat the meat dry before it goes into a hot pan, so it browns instead of steaming.

This shoulder is sold by the pack rather than at a fixed piece weight, from 500g up to 4kg. A small household can cover a curry or a batch of kebabs with 500g or 1kg; for a bigger gathering or a full biryani, order 2kg or 4kg and mix diced, steaks or mince across the order. Fat-on or fat-off — pick whichever suits the dish.

Keep this lamb refrigerated until you're ready to cook it, and let it thaw fully before use — the cut takes about 12 hours to defrost in the fridge. Once it's thawed, cook it within a day or two; don't refreeze raw meat that's already been defrosted.

Basis: a composite of trimmed lamb retail cuts, lean and fat together. Reference: USDA FoodData Central, "Lamb, composite of trimmed retail cuts, separable lean and fat, trimmed to 1/4" fat, choice, raw" (FDC 172479).

Lamb Biryani: brown 25-30g diced shoulder hard in a hot pan, then layer it through part-cooked basmati rice with the spices and steam everything together so the meat stays tender under the crust.

Slow Lamb Curry: sear 160-180g chunks and simmer them low and slow in a base gravy until the meat pulls apart easily.

Kebab Skewers: marinate the 20-30g strips, or the galbi-style minute steak, and sear hot and fast for a charred edge.

This boneless shoulder suits dishes where the meat is portioned, not carved off a joint. Lamb biryani is the anchor here — diced shoulder browned hard and layered through basmati rice. It also works for curry, kofta and kebab preparations, plus Middle Eastern dishes like kabsa or lamb ouzi that want portioned, well-seared meat rather than a whole roasting joint.

Does this shoulder come with a fat cap to brown?

Order it fat-on — steaks, chunks or diced fat-on — and you'll get a thin fat cap that renders and colours nicely; go fat-off if you'd rather skip it.

How do I get the fat cap to brown properly?

Place the fat-on side down in a dry, hot pan and leave it alone for the first few minutes — that's what renders and colours the fat before you turn the piece.

What goes wrong when the fat won't brown?

A pan that isn't hot enough, or meat that's still cold and damp from the fridge, will steam the fat cap rather than colour it — pat the piece dry and let it lose its chill first.

How do I know it's browned enough?

Look for deep golden-brown fat that feels crisp at the edges, not pale or rubbery, before you turn the meat or add it to a curry or biryani base.
