at $56.00 a pound I would expect the steaks to be free shipping and wrapped in gold
Good Steaks.   2009-12-18

Good steaks, but too much bother when I can get the same thing in a local store for less cost, considering shipping etc.
"Steer" elsewhere, these Filets didn't Moove me...   2009-06-25
By C. Coleman (Atlanta)
We've not only ordered Omaha filets for delivery, but have also been to Omaha stores and purchased the steaks directly from a location. To me, there is literally zero difference. In both instances, the boxed, vacuum packed filets are frozen. There's nothing wrong with purchasing frozen meat, and it you allow the meat to thaw properly, before cooking, there is no reason you cannot prepare a perfectly nice tasting steak. I'm disappointed in the Omaha filets. Omaha's filets are definitely tender, and I have no issues with the tenderness of the filets. It's the taste. The freshness just isn't up to par. We prepared two filets, side by side. One was an Omaha filet, the other a filet purchased from a local butcher. We made certain that the filet purchased from the butcher was as equal in thickness as possible - and there's problem #1. Omaha filets are routinely under 1" thickness. Really, what you have here are "tournados" which I always think of as thinner sliced tenderloin pieces. But even having the butcher cut a tenderloin in equal thickness (which he advised against as he believes, as do I, that tenderloin is best when it's about an inch and a half thick) demonstrated one of the initial problems. A side to side raw comparison reveals that the Omaha filet is a very smooth surfaced filet that appears rather processed, if you must know the truth. I know it wasn't - but that's what it looks like. The filet from the butcher had texture to it, something I suspect helps with the outside of the steak in terms of getting that outer layer flavor from the gril. Both filets were tender, although I will submit that the Omaha filet was so tender, it was almost "mealy" and I don't mean that in a positve way. It was as if someone had pounded the filet to a pulp and then reformed it into a filet. Again, this is clearly not how Omaha filets are put to market, but in comparison to the butcher cut filet, there was no question that the butcher cut filet had a more substantive, and consistant texture, throughout, although it was still very tender. After equal temperature and time preparation, (the only seasoning was salt and pepper) the taste of the butcher cut filet was the absolute clear winner with guests. Some described the Omaha filet as having an after taste. Others indicated that it just didn't taste fresh. And I agree. Now, this is not to say that Omaha filets are a poor product, but in my opinion, a fresh cut filet from the butcher beats the taste of the Omaha filet, bar none. We experimented with the thicker 8 oz and 10 oz filets as well. I would recommend the thicker cut Omaha filets over the 5 oz cuts as a matter of course. I'm just not impressed with the Omaha filets that we've sampled, and in terms of value for your money - find a good local butcher.
