Türkiye · 1 city
Turkey has a long tradition of grilling meat over charcoal at the ocakbaşı, and Istanbul has become known for steakhouses that dry-age beef in-house. Butchers, called kasap, sell aged cuts, and beef is halal by default.
Beef to know
Kasap is the Turkish word for butcher; several Istanbul kasaps run their own steak restaurants.
Many Istanbul steakhouses display their dry-ageing cabinets and state the number of days.
Beef in Turkey is slaughtered to halal rules, so most steakhouses do not advertise a separate certificate.
