Butcher’s Guide: What are Butcher’s Cut Steaks?

​Is there anything more delicious than a thick, juicy, perfectly cooked steak? Omaha Steaks exclusive Butcher’s Cut steaks delivers an undeniable, memorable upgrade to your steak dinner with thicker, taller steaks. Here’s what makes our Butcher’s Cut steaks an at-home steakhouse experience you simply can’t find anywhere else.

What are Butcher’s Cut Steaks?

If you know steak, you’ll know that Omaha Steaks exclusive Butcher’s Cut steaks are a big deal. You won’t find thick, juicy steaks like these at your local grocery store. Watch Jerry, an Omaha Steaks master butcher since 1984, and Omaha Steaks Executive Chef David Rose explain what makes our Butcher’s Cut steaks a cut above the rest.

Carved to a Higher Standard

Our master butchers never cut corners – but they do carve out perfection. They are trained using traditional techniques to ensure the perfect cut, every time. Each Butcher’s Cut steak is carved to a higher standard by master butchers to deliver a thick, tall steak.

• • Hand-trimmed by master butchers
  • Double-trimmed to remove most exterior fat
  • Thicker cut for even cooking and juicier bites

  Exceptional Marbling

  Steak lovers agree that a well-marbled steak delivers rich flavor. Those white flecks of fat inside the steak (marbling) melt into the meat as it cooks delivering a juicy, flavorful bite. Every Butcher’s Cut steak is selected for quality and intense marbling.

  Aged 30+ Days

  Every Butcher’s Cut steak is aged at least 30 days for maximum tenderness and flavor. This old-world butcher’s art isn’t common today because it takes time, precision, and investment to age steak for a full 30 days, but it’s worth it. Our proprietary aging process delivers a more tender steak bringing out its natural, robust beef flavor.

  Flash-Frozen Perfection 

  All Omaha Steaks are flash-frozen and individually vacuum-sealed to lock in and preserve exquisite flavor and tenderness. This extremely cold, extremely fast method of freezing steak is like pressing a pause button on nature’s perfect process so you can enjoy it at its peak.
