i recently missed this awesome combo pack but ordered some other stuff anyway. I guess they send this email to all recent customers. While their normal prices are inflated, their discounts are legit deals.

Is it really worth $9/lb?

To those that order, can you describe the quality. Also, it comes frozen right? So it can last a long time in your freezer.

It's Omaha steak dude. Omaha....

This may be blunt but that does not mean $hite to me. What is so good about Omaha steaks?

Cubsfan

Guess you should order this and find out

I used to order Omaha steaks quite a bit, but haven't for a little while now. The steaks were really good in general, but the last order or two I places were pretty fatty, which was unusual for them. I ultimately decided that although the steaks are really good, they are not really worth what they cost compared to other steaks you can buy.

sputnik23

but if you do the math properly,

FAT = FLAVOR

so the last two orders were too flavorful for you?

fat does not mean flavor. have had pleanty of fatty steaks that taste like garbage, and pleanty of lean cuts that taste great. it is all in the quality of the beef and how you cook/prepare it. Omaha is a very quality steak, but I can get the same quality from my local butcher at less than half the price. on a side note, check your grocery liquer dept. Grolsch has a $2 off beef coupon, no other purchase necessary. You do need to be over 21 to use the coupon, though.

It's all about Quality.

Omaha Steaks are "Okay".

I have an account with a Certified Angus Beef Distributor now, and get PRIME (not Select, or Choice) beef at fair prices. Here's a funny one:

Omaha:
12 (8 oz.) Rib Eyes Reg. $154.00. You save $54.01 Specially priced at $99.99!

My Distributor:

24 pound rib strip (Bone In) C.A.B. $125. that's 48 steaks the size of Omaha's.. If you wanted to cut them that thin.

Here's what I get:






If you have no good beef supplier connections, Omaha is okay, but they are far from the best.

P.S. that Ribeye that is on the scale would go for $70-90 at a good restaurant that serves the top quality of Angus Beef.
I think I need to go cook one now. mmmmm

halfmoon

Oh, found an article that talks about Omaha Steaks..


From: http://www.americastestkitchen.com/Episode/1118.shtml



However, if you enjoy it, more power to you, everyone has different tastes.

HmpDeeHmp

Man, all this talk about yummy steak is making me salivate at work...

verve247

Thanks for the article Halfmoon. Damn those pics looked good. I'm amazed you were able to grill cuts of meat that thick. They're mouth-watering.

Dave_7

Uhh.... stop that. And how do we get these from this "supplier" of yours?




Dave.

Realrammstein

Ahhhhh, time to go grill a "sub quality" steak. I am so wanting that steak right now.

My wife got that deal last time around. The steaks are small, and frankly I didn't think they were anything special. About half the meat in the box is hamburgers or hotdogs, not steak anyway. That "regular" price is simply ridiculous.

I bit my tongue and didn't tell her we could have gotten a lot better meat for $50. I did, however, tell her not to buy it again.

They have good marketing, and a mediocre product...they're like the Bose of meat.

groobash

haha I was just clicking around the site and found this:

yes..."Specially priced", that works out to more than $25/lb....for dog treats. Whatever.

stop right there while youre still behind. why do you think a common preparation of filet is to wrap it in bacon? because its generally flavorless cut in terms of beefiness. it's only prized for its tenderness.

and in terms of fatty, theres different kinds. theres thick layers of fat surrounding the meat and between muscle groups. and then theres thin ribbons throughout the meat. intramuscular fattiness is what makes kobe/wagyu beef soooo damn good. some say that the best of kobe beef looks mostly white with red ribbons instead of the other way around. it's called marbling and it's GREAT.


i've never personally had beef so well marbled, but working in foodservice, i've eaten my share of well marbled prime.
youre the kind of guy i see at the supermarket tossing aside the cuts with the most intramusclar fat for the reddest piece of beef you can find. thanks for the laughs and saving the good stuff for me!

darkwormer

Don't tell me i know nothing about meat. I have been in grilling contests for about 15 years, I know my meat. I have gotten several awards (no top prizes, yet) in several states(texas, Oklahoma, Wisconsin). I know how to make any cut of meat tender and tasty. Fat has nothing to do with it. When you BBQ, all the fat cooks out, except for the large pieces. Fat leaving means that all the rub you add also goes away. it's all in the rub, not the cut of meat. Oh, I never got to the grocery store for my meat, my butcher is cheaper and he cuts the steaks when I order them, supermarket steaks are cut days before you get them and loaded with chemicals to keep them red....

groobash

Dark...you are twisting BBQing (slow, low heat) and grilling (fast, high heat)

The fattier meat does in fact "taste" better when grilled. Unfortunately that also means that it's not as good for you to eat it. Since the country has been on a health kick for 20 years, you pay more for leaner meat, but it's not because it tastes better.

Remember when grocery stores could hardly give chicken away?...until word got out that it's "healthy". Same thing with lean steaks.

Also Halfmoon...CAB is indeed Choice grade, not Prime.

JackHammer

That's a good line.

ziggie216

there is a Omaha Steaks store in San Jose, should they have the same deal as online sales?

InfiniteNothing

That steak has grill lines in it but it's in a casserole dish. I don't understand how you cooked it.

Anyone have a website on how to rub ones meat?

Boooooooooo. Bad joke.
