It's true! Outback Steakhouse has halal lamb!
Posted by Shahed on March 14, 2006
Thanks to the hard work of some intrepid readers, we can confirm that all Outback steakhouses in the US serve halal lamb (but only the lamb). The lamb is from New Zealand and the zabihah process is supervised by the Federation of Islamic Associations of New Zealand, and we have confirmation through emails exchanges with Muslim students in New Zealand and directly from Michelle Robinson at Outback's headquarters. Michelle provides us with additional information:
"Customers who desire Halal preparation should ask that the lamb be prepared in separate sautÈ pan instead of on the grill in order to make sure there is no cross contamination from other products. Please understand that the preparation time for the lamb in the sautÈ pan will be longer than if it were prepared on the grill. Also, please ask that the steamed vegetables be prepared without the "seasoned butter", which contains a bit of bacon in the seasoning. Please remember to order your lamb without the cabernet sauce."
