The Types Of Food Omaha Steaks Offers
While “steaks” are in their name, Omaha Steaks offers way more than just steak. In fact, they offer nearly every cut of beef, chicken, turkey, and pork imaginable. But that’s just a portion of the foods they offer. They also now offer seafood, pastas, sides, desserts, and even wine.
To give you an idea of the immense variety they offer, here are some of their most popular foods they sell from each category:
Steaks
Chicken
Pork
Seafood
Other Meats
Appetizers
Sides
Desserts
The examples above are really just the tip of the iceberg. In fact, I found one of the hardest parts of ordering to be deciding what to get.
While they offer a lot of meats that you cook, a good portion of the items they offer are premade foods (like the appetizers, sides, and desserts).
This enormous variety, coupled with their premade options makes Omaha Steaks a great option for special occasions where you may need to feed a lot of people a nice dinner but you don’t want to have to spend hours cooking everything. Emily and I have considered using Omaha Steaks for when we host future family holidays.
Omaha Steaks is not like a typical meal kit or meal delivery service in its ordering process. There is no subscription. However, Omaha Steaks knows that their service is used by people who want to order food for themselves and as gifts for friends and family so on every product page they include a dropdown box to select where you want the food to be delivered to. I bring this up because I have inadvertently selected “ship to someone else” when ordering before and want to save people the headache of having to edit everything in the checkout process.
The nice thing about this dropdown option is that it allows you to order for yourself and as a gift for someone else all in one order rather than two different orders. If you have some items in your cart that are to be shipped to you and to be shipped to someone else, you simply fill out both addresses and confirm the products for each delivery at checkout.
The drivers make every effort possible to get your coolers to you on time, but sometimes Mother Nature just doesn’t cooperate. In the event that your shipment arrives later than expected, we recommend that you check the contents to ensure that the products are safe for consumption.
We place enough ice in each cooler to make sure the food is good through the end of your scheduled delivery day, which can be as late as 9:00 PM. We typically expect there to be little to no ice left in each cooler when they arrive, but the food should still be frozen. If your gourmet products do not arrive frozen, please use the following information to discern whether your product is safe, or whether you should contact us with concerns.
With the joys of the holiday season come the inevitable inconveniences of winter weather. While Omaha Steaks uses plenty of dry ice and an insulated cooler for each shipment to make it to your doorstep, occasionally the trucks are delayed, have to be rerouted because of road conditions or get held up as a result of other weather-related issues.

Every steak I’ve had from Omaha Steaks has been a winner (as you can see from our first review back in 2017). This steak was too. It’s important to note that the taste of the steak is dependent on the quality of meat and how it’s cooked. We make sure to not overcook any steaks to preserve the flavor. So this means staying between the rare to medium-rare levels. Here is a great video on how to perfectly cook a steak that I found very informative.
