Disappointed by the value
Recently I received a bunch of Omaha Steak vouchers from a company that I represent. I was very excited! I cook and eat a lot of steaks so I was excited to try the famous Omaha Steak. After listening to all of their ads and looking at their pricing I expected the steaks to be of A+ quality. I ordered Ribeye and New York Strip steaks. When I received the steaks I opened the packages and the Ribeye's seemed to have reasonable marbling, and the New York Strip's looked as you would expect. Today I cooked my first four Ribeye's and boy was I disappointed. I was disappointed by the flavor, moisture, and overall quality. They were the worst steaks I've cooked in the past 5 years. I cooked the steaks on a BIg Green Egg at 600F for 3.5 minutes per side for a total cook time of 7min. This is a cooking method I have used many times. These steaks were the driest I have ever experienced using this cooking method by a long shot. The combination of a Ribeye steak and a Big Green Egg should provide you with a very moist end product. If I had bought these steaks at Wal Mart on sale for $4.99 a pound I may not have been as disappointed. These steaks are of average grocery store quality! In my opinion these steaks are the worst value I've ever experienced! Stick with Costco steaks and you wont be disappointed. Costco steaks aren't the cheapest steaks you can buy but I challenge you to find a better value in steaks. I will never order another Omaha steak in my life, even if given to me free.
