Thank you to Visit Omaha who provided the author with complimentary steaks to facilitate this article.
Everyone who knows me knows how much I love to travel and eat in restaurants. Getting out and discovering new foods and new ways of making ingredients I’m familiar with is my passion. So, when the COVID-19 pandemic hit, I had to find a new way to fulfill my wanderlust and enjoy restaurant-style steak at home.
I also love to entertain, and I distinctly remember my daughter cautioning me while planning a dinner menu for guests, not to cook steak as that wasn’t my best dish. I had to agree; cooking a steak at-home was a bit of a mystery to me. It never seemed exactly right.
I NEEDED to learn to cook a restaurant-style steak at home to make it through the pandemic. Using technology, I made the best of a difficult situation by using virtual travel. I went virtually to Omaha, a place I think of as the steak capital of the world. Visit Omaha offered an on-line cooking demonstration with three Omaha restaurant chefs. They gave our group their best tips for cooking an Omaha Steak.
But first, before I share what I learned, let’s look at the history of Omaha Steaks.
