Kosher steak

Tuesday, August 11th, 2009

Want to make sure the mouthwatering steak you’re gobbling down is kosher, that is, it’s been prepared according to the laws of kashrut? For your steak to be kosher the animal it comes from must be killed as painlessly as possible. Of course this requires that only a kosher expert must butcher the animal.

Although a typical steak comes from beef, especially in America, the one you are eating can come from any edible animal that can be sliced the way steaks are sliced. So you can get your steak from fish (it helps if it’s large fish), from sheep and goats and for that matter even from camels if you’re ready to savor them.

Even if an animal is slaughtered in the right manner and all blood is drained out there are certain animal parts that are not kosher food. The fat that surrounds the vital organs and liver should not be consumed. The sciatic nerve and its adjoining blood vessels are discarded too.

Keshrut also says that dairy products and meat products should not be eaten together. This means for your food to be kosher it should not have a mixing of dairy products and meat products. That is why kosher breads are never prepared with dairy and meat products.

Major Kosher Foods

In spite of the relatively small size of the Jewish population, kosher food is big business worldwide, and especially in the US. The dollar value of the American kosher food market is some $10 billion, and the dollar value of kosher goods produced in the USA is $175 billion, according to a major kosher food survey conducted by Cannondale Associates.

The survey threw up some interesting revelations. Only 21% of Americans who buy kosher foods do so for religious reasons. Non-Jews who buy kosher food products tend to do so because they think “kosher” is synonymous with “healthy.”

Kosher Food

“Nothing would be more tiresome than eating and drinking if God had not made them a pleasure as well as a necessity.”
-Voltaire (1694 – 1778), famous French philosopher and writer

Kashrut refers to Jewish dietary laws. Food in accord with halakha (Jewish law) is termed kosher in English, from the Ashkenazi pronunciation of the Hebrew term kashér, meaning, “fit” (in this context, fit for consumption by Jews according to traditional Jewish law).
