Any of you monkeys tried Omaha Steaks? I've heard that they are really good meat, but on the expensive side. I got a coupon in the mail to try them at a reduced rate with 4 free 1/4# burgers.

I've gotten them as gifts from my suppliers and they are good.
I have also taken to sending them out to friends and family at Christmas time and everyone likes them.
The meat is only decent, a good butcher will have better meat. Add that to the price which is on the expensive side, and they're just not worth it.
That is, unless you live a long way from a good butcher or would just like to receive your meat in the mail.
That said, the dry ice they pack the coolers with is loads of fun

find a good local butcher. fresh meat always wins over frozen meat.
I like steak.
It's not bad, but only if you can't get good, fresh cuts locally.
The man knows what he's talking about.
I would add that nothing beats fresh grass fed meat from the local farm.

Got a box of stuff from them for Christmas, an assortment of steaks and burgers. The stuff was extremely average. One of my first thoughts after cooking and eating the first steaks was I was glad it was a gift, and I didn't pay for it. There's nothing really wrong with it, but I found the meat to be on the bland side. Had to add seasonings to the burgers for flavor, and dry-rubbed the steaks.
Take the advice of the others and buy from a local butcher shop instead.
I'm honored that my meat has been deemed worthy to go into the bottom (of your posts).
Taken out of context it sounds like a threat. I'm gonna try to work it in somewhere today.
Best steak I ever had was in Costa Rica - free range cattle are tasty!
I'm pretty sure we stopped and took a picture of my dinner when we headed into town.
Omaha Tube Steak! Served Fresh Daily!
But you are going to be really uncomfortable scrunched up a dry ice cooler.
maybe he just died on the table.
hahaha.
Frozen steak?
Ack! Why ever would you buy something like that? Go to the local supermarket and get some cut for chrissakes. It'd be better than those things.

actually, elk is pretty damn awesome. no chance it lands on menus out in the east, though.
as is reindeer meat. had a bunch of that in finland last year, and it was great.
I never said I was going to buy the stuff, I was just wondering what others thought of it before I laid out the cash for mail order meat. Seems the consensus is that the local cutter is better. I think if I'm going to pay a premium for meat, then I'm going to look the cutter in the eye as he cuts.
Do that and you might end up with a finger in your steak.
well it'll be ok as long as the cutter's not matching the glance in the eyes, and concentrating on his work.
buy hey, if there's a mishap, there's always chili to be made at Wendy's.
my dad shot an Oryx one year down on White Sands Missile Range... that was even better tasting meat than elk.
i figured that spotted owl would be more yr style.
that oryx must have been a strong swimmer.

there's a huge heard of them on the range since they were introduced back in the 70's... in southern NM it is possible to hunt ibex too...
