Tallow & Thyme's signature Better Than Brisket dish — halal, seed-oil-free, served in Winnipeg

Better Than Brisket is Tallow & Thyme's most iconic dish — a slow-cooked, 12 oz halal beef preparation that draws on classic brisket traditions while elevating the result with our seed-oil-free kitchen philosophy. The beef is braised low and slow in beef tallow and aromatics until it reaches a fall-apart tenderness with a deeply savoury bark.

This dish was born from our commitment to elevated comfort food that's as nourishing as it is indulgent. It's keto-friendly, carnivore-approved, and completely halal — a combination that is truly unique in Winnipeg. Guests from Downtown Winnipeg, Osborne Village, and Elmwood make the trip to Provencher Blvd just for this dish.

"This dish lives up to the name. I've had brisket all over Winnipeg and Canada and I've never had anything quite like this. The flavour is so deep and the texture is perfect. Knowing it's halal and seed-oil-free makes me feel great about eating it."
