Omaha Steaks International, Inc., known as Omaha Steaks, is a retailer of steaks, seafood, and food gifts originating in 1917 in Omaha, Nebraska. The company started out as a butcher shop but is now one of America's largest marketers of beef. It is a fifth-generation, privately held, family business.

Omaha Steaks products are shipped in insulated coolers chilled with ice. The company uses a variety of marketing techniques, including mail order, telesales, telemarketing, retail sales and Internet-based sales.

Some early history from Wikipedia:
"J.J. Simon and his son, B.A., came to America to escape antisemitism. Passing through Ellis Island in 1898, they settled in Omaha because of the farmland's similarity to their homeland, Riga, Latvia. They worked for nearly 20 years as butchers for other people. In 1917, the family founded Omaha Steaks as a cattle carcass operation at 17th and Douglas Streets. B.A.'s son, Lester Simon, is credited with introducing Omaha Steaks across the United States, when he brokered a deal with the Union Pacific Railroad to begin serving Omaha Steaks in the dining cars of their transcontinental trains in the 1940s. Lester Simon hand-selected the meat for the Union Pacific passenger trains that traveled between Omaha and Los Angeles, San Francisco, and Seattle. Train passengers who ordered Omaha Steaks in Union Pacific's dining cars prompted the company to launch its first mail order ventures – magazine ads and direct mail flyers – in 1952."

Shipping normally runs close to $18, so watch out for their free shipping deals and special combinations. Their most popular combo options, Tasteful Gift, includes their legendary Filet Mignons and Top Sirloins, meaty Boneless Pork Chops, Potatoes au Gratin, and Caramel Apple Tartlets, all for $70. If sold separately, the same ingredients would cost $141.

Fun fact: They also sell pet treats. Yum!
