Ordering steaks on line..

so so — Mon, 13 Jan 2020 19:58:57 GMT

Our son in law orders steaks from Omaha steaks all the time. He says they are excellent and loves their quick service. He is a rugby player and loves his steak and chicken. Has anyone ever tried an online steak company?? I was looking at Rastelli... the pork/steak package looks good. we don't eat steak all the time so having it in the freezer is a plus.

I've tried two....Omaha and Kanas City. Of the two I prefer Omaha. I thought the meat tasted better. Actually, didn't order the Omaha online, we had a store close by and I would go there. But it is the same product that is online. Stores sometimes have some good sales though.

My SO's brother sent him Omaha meats on 2 consecutive Christmases. Maybe they're better now than they were those 8 years ago, but I'm not about to find out!

@so so We have received Omaha Steaks as gifts several times, and they were just OK. Not bad, but not as good as we could get at our local supermarket for less money. I don't like to buy food sight-unseen. Usually, I shop the Manager's Specials in the steak department. That means the steaks are aging, which is a good thing. Not like dry-aging, but aging nonetheless. I, for one, don't understand why the price doesn't go up on the steaks that are starting to turn brown. They taste much better.

@PA Mom-mom .........Having worked in a meat dept at a grocery, the steaks (any meat) that is turning brown is being cooked by the lights in the meat cases or the overhead store lights.

@Imaoldhippie Well, it also happens at the custom kill butcher shops we shop at. But, for whatever reason, they always taste better when they are just turning "sweet."

I've only done it once. My mom used to work for Pat Boone in the early 1960s, so when he started his own steam company, I ordered her some as a gag gift.

I very rarely eat steak I think the last time I bought steak to cook myself was at least 10 years ago.

If you have a Costco nearby, I think their steaks are better.

We've always gotten good steaks at Costco as well.

There are so many horror stories of ice problems, that I would never dare order food.

I tend to think a lot of it is just hype too. All good steaks do not just come from a particular area. I see a lot of local grass fed around here and I know what butcher they end up at.

I ordered Omaha rib eyes quite a few years ok. They were somewhere between ok and good.

Haven't had any Kansas City Steaks but have ordered their prime ribs and beef tenderloins multiple times. Always hit the excellent mark. Unfortunately they priced me out of the market a couple of years ago.

Have been buying at a local meat market for a couple of years now. Less then 2/3 the price of Kansas City and every bit as good.

If you have access to a local source give it a try.

We ordered Omaha Steaks about 10 years ago....that was the first and last time. I wasn't at all impessed. I only buy steaks from my local grocer and prefer to choose the size, weight and appearance myself. I honestly haven't found any food item online that is better than what I can find locally. To each her own though!

I have been gifted steaks from Omaha Steak Co., and Rastelli. The steaks were edible, and just OK; my family found them to be nothing special at all. I was glad I did not purchase them, and said as much to my MIL who had gifted them to us. The Angus steaks at my local grocery store taste much better, and are cheaper.

I've bought pork and steak from Restilli"s, so good, will always buy from there. They are packaged individual, and nice size. I've never bought from Omaha. Maybe will try someday.

There's no reason for us to buy meat online. We have specialty butcher shops near us but my husband's parents way up in Maine and we have sent them Omaha steaks many times over the years. They love what they get, never any complaints.

Well, @so so , I'm on A-D for Rastelli 2 oz Filet Mignon (perfect size) and Beef Wellington. I may skip an upcoming shipment of the Wellington as I have some left over from Christmas.

Both are Delicious, and, darn it, now my mouth is watering thinking about them!

I didn't care for Rastelli steaks I ordered from QVC. Placed an order with Omaha and the order included 2 steaks. Average. I placed another Omaha order (for convenience to have items on hand and already packaged, etc.) yesterday with free shipping--which is the only way I will order. Did not order steak. I like their chicken that is breaded. Cooking is so easy and fast in air fryer. I don't make a habit of ordering frozen food online. When I buy locally I always use my Food Saver to vacuum seal.
