Give Nebraska Beef for xmas ;)

by Jeremy Schoemaker on December 17, 2007 · 70 comments

Being from the Midwest I love steak… love love love it. That is one of the things I hate when I travel coastal is they *think* they have decent steaks…. its kind of like how we have decent seafood here in the midwest *blah*. Anyway if you are looking for a last minute gift for someone or for yourself for Christmas I highly recommend going with Omaha steaks . Also I have used Omaha steaks to compensate people who do work for me but are unmotivated by money (DAMN THEM!). When you order Omaha steaks they come in a sweet little cooler packed in dry ice that lasts a while.





ADD SIDENOTE: If you never have played with dry ice there are many fun things you can do…

They currently have a 55% off deal which is pretty fricking awesome:

The Holiday Fanfare (#7870YHZ)
4 (5 oz.) Filet Mignons
4 (5 oz.) Top Sirloins
4 (4 oz.) Boneless Pork Chops
2 (4.5 oz.) Stuffed Sole with Scallops and Crab
4 (4 oz.) Gourmet Burgers
8 (3 oz.) Gourmet Franks
10 Potatoes au Gratin

All for only $99 (normally $222.00)

Agree steak is awesome. Especially with A1 steak sauce ;)

Ohhh…Im gonna have to disagree. Omaha Steaks need no sauce.

Those steaks are mouth-watering to tell. I have ate lots of state in my life; $2 McDonalds to $80. These steaks are grilled to almost perfection. If I ever been there, I gonna try for sure. Until then I have to settle with our east-coast sea-food.

Agreed it’s a great gift. But… I’ve had some problems with them in the past. Ordered some gifts and they tele-spammed me afterwards. I don’t mind the ocassional email from people I’ve bought things from, but calling me out of the blue asking me to re-up is not ok. You haven’t had that problem?

I get a lot of regular mail and email from them but I have never gotten a phone call… that would piss me off

If a steak is done right you shouldn’t have to put any steak sauce on it. Actually, some places don’t even have sauce for your meat and it may be seen as an insult to the chef if you ask. If it is a poor cut of meat, OK, fine slop some sauce on there.

Has anyone been able to make the Omaha Steak offer work with PPC? I’ve tried it and lost money. But I didn’t try that hard. Just curious.

I agree here in the midwest if you ask for a1 the chef will come out and ask you what the problem is =P

Also when ordering in the midwest or in Alberta for Canada… Anything but well done = really bloody. The way it should be.

My favorite is the Angus steak.

I agree with No steak sauce. You can really that the meat with out it.

went to buy some and forgot, my family doesn’t eat seafood :(
Maybe I will send them out for Christmas gifts to some family. If so, expect a affiliate check from me (indirectly) for your Christmas present. I think you are smart to post this so close to Christmas, you are bound to do very well with it. (BTW, I have already given you $47 when I bought BANS.)

Was considering them since I’m a big meat lover. Until I read they are GRAIN FED cattle. Sorry but this is settling for less – nothing short of GRASS FED, free range, 100% organic for me. Try blackwing meats when you’re ready for the real deal – I just ordered over 100 lbs of their bison.

PS: In the United States, cattle in concentrated animal feeding operations (CAFOs) are typically fed corn, soy and other types of feed that can include “by-product feedstuff” such as stale pastry, candy, and recycled municipal garbage. As a high-starch, high-energy food, corn decreases the time to fatten cattle and increases yield from dairy cattle. These cattle are called corn-fed or grain-fed.

As an avid barbecue fanatic I can tell you that Omaha Steaks is the real deal. The meat you get from them is top choice and high quality…….. Not too fat not too lean….just right. When it arrives it is packaged very well.

I definitely agree with “Shoe” on this one……………. makes a great gift too.

Have heard a lot about the steaks but have not tasted them before. $99 does seem like a pretty good deal for what all you get tho.

From the midwest too, and know what you mean about steaks on either coast. Great review on Omaha Steaks. Have considered ordering from them, and now I think I will give them a try. (now I’m hungry) lol

OMG Shoemoney! I have done some crazy shit with dry ice. Believe it or not, you can actually swallow it, and it won’t hurt you, just drink water. You’ll have the best burps you’ve ever had in ur life. Also, blowing bottles up with it is classic fun.

Love the site, I’m learning how to put money in my pocket every day. Late!

Not pimpin’ for the place, but when you get to Tampa try Bern’s … been here forever, claims world’s widest wine variety available (wine list is like a phone book). Steaks are their specialty the way stone crab’s are Joe’s.
