halal meat: any permissible animal which has been slaughtered the islamic way by slitting the throat and in the name of God. Note this is very different from sacrificing the animal to please God. The idea is only to acknowledge that God is the provider of all your blessings/providence (the meat and resulting steak included haha)
haram meat: any expressly prohibited animal/meat (pig/carnivores/scavengers/dead animals/birds of prey etc)
benefits of halal:
1)animals slaughtered in this way feel less pain and die sooner
2)the meat is healthier due to the blood and toxins being forcefully pumped out by the spasms and still beating heart.
That's all I could think of off the top of my head but there's other aspects too:-)
just to clarify the answer before mine:
