Omaha Steaks Achieves Prestigious USDA Tender Designations

In a remarkable feat for beef enthusiasts, Omaha Steaks, recognized as America’s Original Butcher, has proudly announced that five of its steak varieties have been awarded the USDA Certified Tender designation. This milestone underscores the company's commitment to delivering the finest quality beef to its customers. Among the standout products is the iconic Filet Mignon, which has now also achieved the noteworthy status of USDA Certified Very Tender, setting a new standard for steak excellence.

The honored steak types include Ribeyes, New York Strips, Sirloins, T-Bones, and Porterhouses—all celebrated for their tenderness and quality. These accolades not only showcase Omaha Steaks’ rigorous commitment to excellence in beef production but also serve as a testament to the precision and passion that has characterized the company for over a century.

The president and CEO of Omaha Steaks, Nate Rempe, expressed his pride in receiving such esteemed certifications. "To achieve both USDA Certified Tender and Very Tender designations is an extraordinary honor for our team. It celebrates the unmatched quality of our steaks and reinforces our promise to provide our customers with the finest steak experience available," he stated.

Understanding the USDA Certification Process

The USDA Certified Tender designation reflects the stringent standards set by the U.S. Department of Agriculture, requiring thorough third-party testing for tenderness. This certification indicates that not only have the Ribeyes, New York Strips, Sirloins, T-Bones, and Porterhouses met these rigorous standards, but they have been independently verified to provide an exquisite melt-in-your-mouth experience.

On a higher tier, the USDA Certified Very Tender designation is granted to only the most remarkably tender cuts of beef. The Omaha Steaks Filet Mignons stand out as one of the select few in the country to achieve this prestigious recognition. This commitment to quality is evident not just in the type of cuts offered, but also in the process by which they are selected and prepared.

Omaha Steaks prides itself on selecting only the highest quality cuts for its customers. This involves a meticulous aging process that optimizes both flavor and tenderness, along with conducting extensive internal quality checks. Additionally, through a stringent third-party sheer-force testing process carried out at a USDA certified facility, only the best cuts earn FDA approval, underlining the company's transparent and quality-driven approach.
