I. CutEvery cut of beef has a unique flavor, texture, size, and shape. Don’t be afraid to try something new – there’s a lot more to steak than “steak.”
THE BUTCHER’S OPTIONS
CHOOSING YOUR STEAK
2. Marbling The little white flecks and lines of fat inside a steak are called marbling. When marbling melts as a steak cooks, it creates rich flavor and juiciness.

3. AgingAging beef naturally maximizes tenderness. That’s why all Omaha Steaks beef is aged a minimum of 21 days – and our Private Reserve collection is aged at least 28 days.
4. FlavorSteak flavor is complex, like fine wine. Depending on the cut, marbling, and age, a steak might be rich, mild, savory, bold, and so much more.
The Perfect Steak Starting with the best beef, choosing your favorite is easy.

OUR FAVORITE SEASONINGS & RUBS
Thawing SteaksThawing frozen steaks overnight in the refrigerator is best. But if you’re in a hurry, submerge vacuum-sealed steaks in a bowl of cold water for about 30 minutes.
Seasoning Pat steaks dry and season liberally 30 minutes before cooking for a flavorful crust.- Season all sides of your steak- Coarse salt & black pepper are the basics- Seasoning blends add flavor and texture
Let it SnowWhen seasoning your
steaks, sprinkle from 6-8 inches above for even
distribution.
From The ButcherFrozen is better! We flash freeze and vacuum seal all of our steaks, which preserves the quality, flavor, and age of the beef until it’s delivered to you. Once you thaw it, an Omaha Steak is exactly like it was when we carved it.
- Mick, Omaha Steaks Master Butcher, 37 years
TemperatureYou can cook your thawed steaks right away! Or, you can season them and let your steaks come up to room temperature for 30 minutesfor an easier, even cook. The choice is yours.

------- THERMOMETERS -------Use a quick-read digital meat thermometer. It’s the only way
to really know your steak’s internal temperature.
-------------- LET IT REST ---------------Always rest steaks under a
foil tent for 3-5 minutes after cooking. The juices will re-distribute for a juicier steak.

Across the GrainIt’s not just the cut that determines how tender your steak will be; it’s also about how you cut the meat. You want to slice across the grain to ensure a tender bite every time.
- Carmen, Master Butcher, 17 years
--- HOW TO MAKE STEAK --- THE PERFECT
FINISHPRO-TIPS DIRECTLY FROM THE EXPERTS!
THE STEAK DONENESSGUIDE All steaks – regardless of doneness – should be seared to a delicious crust on the outside. Measure temperature at the center of the steak, away from the bone, using a quick-read digital meat thermometer.
LEARN THE TECHNIQUEWhether you’ve made a compound butter or not, finishing pan-seared steaks with butter is THE way to get gorgeous, super-rich results. The technique is called arrosér (pronounced a-rosay), and it’s easier than it sounds.
1. When pan-searing steaks (when they’re nearly done), add a hefty spoonful of butter to the pan.
2. Tilt the pan about 30 degrees, keeping it over the heat, as the butter melts and bubbles.
3. Spoon the melted butter over the steak repeatedly for the last couple minutes of your cook.
Add even more flavor by tossing garlic cloves or fresh herbs in with your butter.
Learn more on our blog atwww.OmahaSteaks.com/blog
MAKING SIMPLE COMPOUND BUTTERFinishing your steaks is the best way to get that gorgeous steakhouse crust, the flavorful exterior that makes the juiciness inside even better. For the tastiest results, make a compound butter beforehand to add huge flavor and richness to pan-seared steaks.
Roasted Garlic Compound Butter• 2 heads garlic• 2 tsp. olive oil• 1/2 tsp. kosher salt• 1 stick unsalted butter, room
temperature
Preheat oven to 350°F. Peel garlic cloves, drizzle with oil, and wrap in foil. Roast for 40-60 minutes until soft. Squeeze and mash garlic cloves (remove paper) and mix with soft butter and salt. Roll compound butter in parchment paper and refrigerate.
