\"\"<\/a>Omaha Steaks, arguably the largest purveyor of meat by mail in the US, was started in 1917 by a father and son from Latvia, as a supplier of premium cut meats to Omaha grocers and restaurants. Today, 1800 employees, two USDA plants, a distribution center and telemarketing operation supply home cooks, restaurants, food services with cuts of beef and other prepared food products.<\/strong><\/p>\n

I had a couple of different packages of burgers delivered to me, they were five days in transit with dry ice, and arrived still frozen solid. Omaha sells a “premium ground beef” patty and a “gourmet” patty, but I am unable to descern the difference from the descriptions on their website<\/a>, other than price.<\/strong><\/p>\n

They are offering signficant price reductions at the moment, and as an example, you can get 12 4 oz burgers of $9.99,\u00a0 but shipping will probably add another $12, so it come out to $10 a pound plus.
\n<\/strong><\/p>\n

Eight of the 4 oz “Gourmet Burgers” clock in at $13, well over 50% off. <\/strong><\/p>\n

The burger patties come individually packaged, with their USDA seal (plant 1198a), and \"\"<\/a>instructions to cook to interior temps of at least 160.<\/strong><\/p>\n

I threw one of their regular burgers into a cast iron skillet this morning, sans any seasoning, and cooked it to medium, and it was definitely better than any other frozen patty I have tried.<\/strong><\/p>\n

My only issue would be that the grind is very fine, and I prefer my a little bit more coarse, but that’s not a deal killer, flavor and texture are very good.<\/strong><\/p>\n

As I said above, they have a really great promotion going on, and even the best steaks they carry are 50-64% off as well. The special offers page is online here<\/a>, and they bonus you with free gifts as well, thereby further reducing the net cost of the meat.<\/strong><\/p>\n
