I am a man of impulse. I often buy things out of boredom and when I’m hungry and bored, I might expect a box of candy bars to arrive at my house, or, in this case, my first order to Omaha Steaks.
I bought steaks, burgers, some apple things and some potato things, but the first thing that I wanted to try was their Omaha Steak Burgers. I’m a burger guy and I’m a grill guy and I’m also a cornhole, drink hard iced tea, big BBQ party guy. I have a hard time finding good burgers but when I am desperate to get a good one, I will drive 40 minutes to get farm fresh burger. The grocery stores tend to have very mediocre meat.
The Omaha Steaks Burgers come frozen, which I will now say, I’ve never had a frozen burger that I was particularly fond of. Those Bubba burgers that everyone raves about do nothing for me. So, I was dealing with a frozen burger here and I wondered, will it be the first frozen burger that I’ve liked.
As suggested, I let the burger thaw and then used some salt, pepper and garlic powder on it and then warmed up my grill. I got it to 450 degrees and placed the burger on and sat in my backyard, enjoying the 70 degree weather.
The burger looked a little small when I first saw it and I was worried that it would be really small once it was cooked, but, it didn’t shrink at all and when I put it on the roll, it was a full sized burger. It fit the roll and I was ready to give it a go.
The one problem with frozen burgers more than anything is texture. I’ve found them to be rough to eat, but the Omaha Steaks Burgers had really good texture and flavor. Although they didn’t have big shoes to fill, these are the best frozen burgers I’ve ever had. I used ketchup and mustard and American cheese, if you’re interested and put it on a sesame seed roll that I toasted on the grill. I’m pretty surprised at how good these were and now I’m glad I bought a box.
Omaha Steaks Burgers are very good. Being individually packed makes them perfect for me because I only eat one burger and I’m used to throwing several away because I don’t cook them in time. These will not go to waste. I highly recommend these. Now, I’m excited about trying the other stuff they have.
