We decided to do some home cooked steaks for Christmas Eve dinner and I immediately thought of getting some steaks from Omaha Steaks. I've tried their beef at my friend's dinner party before, and I knew they got the good stuff. So a few days before Christmas, my wife and I visited their Fort Lauderdale store.
The store is not very big but they got coolers stacked with different kinds of meat all around it. I guess this must be one of the busiest time of the year for them, so we had to take a number and wait. When we were greeted by the store staff, I told her I wanted some good steaks and she recommended to go with the Filet Mignon. Yes was an easy decision. Now the question is should I go with the 6oz or 8oz. After I compared the two, there is no question I had to take the 8oz (more meat). They were having a buy one get two free sale, so I also grabbed some sausage, chick fried steaks and veal patties.
Forget about the other stuff I got, lets just talk about the beef....best store-bought beef I ever had. And its super easy to prepare them. I poured some olive oil on the beef, and rubbed some steak rub spices on them (which I also got them from the store). Put them on high flame on my bbq grill and let it cook on one side for 7 min, then flip the meat over and let it cook for another 5 min. Let it rest for about 5 min after the grill and you are done!
The taste was unbelievable. I had nice sear on the meat so it locked in all the juice in the steak, so the steak tasted very juicy and tender. The spice rub added another dimension of the flavor to the meat. And according to the store staff, all their steaks were 30 days aged, premium, grain-fed beef so you know its the good stuff. Yes its very pricy but you get what you paid for. They were having a special at the time so I saved 44% off their regular price....how can you beat that? Looks like I am going back to the store for more meat after holidays. read more
