BBQ Tips and Tricks

Steak Is the Gift Dad Craves

Some Packages Have Free Shipping

Moms and Dads are different.  Mom’s version of pampering  may be a trip to the spa, candy or flowers… but Dad wants something a little more primal.     If you’re considering gift giving for Dad for a birthday, Father’s Day, or Christmas think about his appetite! Think BEEF!

These days the premium mail order food business is booming.   Why?  Because people like the quality and convenience.  Omaha Steaks is a family business that has been based in Omaha, Nebraska since 1917.

Others companies like Allen Brothers Steaks have become solid competitors but Omaha Steaks is the name most know.  The brand is held in high regard.  We unboxed Allen Brothers here.

Grilling gifts are always fun for Fathers and fresh steaks (delivered flash frozen) are almost always cherished as something unique and delicious.

Another advantage to ordering a gift from Omaha Steaks is the wide variety of food items you can select.  From Crab Legs to bratwurst… even pet food… they have a bit of everything.

When BarbrcueTricks.com received our Dad’s day gift from Omaha Steaks we took time to do a formal unboxing and found that the company knows how to pack and preserve a box.   Everything was delivered frozen solid (thanks to a generous block of dry ice and a solidly constructed Styrofoam cooler.   It’s simply fun to get.

The steaks and accompaniments (we received stuffed baked potatoes) were elegantly packaged in high quality boxes and strong shrink wrap.  Most important they tasted great too.

You can often take advantage of deep discounts for gift and variety packages – CHECK HERE – for the steals.  Barbecuetricks.com is a sales affiliate of Omaha Steaks but we also love the product.

Some gift givers make sure there’s enough so Dad can cook for the entire family.

BBQ Tricks just received a nice birthday gift… a batch of steaks from Allen Bros.   And like any true MEATHEADs we decided to show it off a bit.

Allen Brother's Best

Allen Brothers is a  Chicago based meat company, similar to Omaha Steaks, that sells premium steaks to upscale steak houses and also has a thriving catalog to consumer (or Internet to the consumer) business.

I received the “Petite Breakfast Sampler” as a gift.  These steaks are a smaller breakfast portion but are still a nice size.

Here’s how Allen Bros. suggests you handle the product:

From Allenbrothers.com:

Upon receiving your shipment of Allen Brothers meats, place them in your freezer immediately. Your shipment contained a block of dry ice to keep the product frozen during transit.

Dry ice is a frozen gas which dissipates over time. If there is dry ice remaining in the container, avoid contact with your bare skin. Use gloves or oven mitts to dispose of the ice, or leave the ice in the container, where it will dissipate naturally.

If there is no dry ice remaining in the container when you open your shipment, there is no need for concern. What is important is that the items are still frozen, or are cold to the touch.

We encourage you to recycle the sturdy polystyrene container your shipment arrived in.

Witness the unveiling… and yes they cooked up nicely (and tasted great) too.
