Omaha Steaks meat is inspected by the USDA. Omaha Steaks does not pay for the grading because they stand behind their products, unconditional, 100%. All their beef is mid-western grain feed beef, aged for 21 days, hand trimmed, and vacuum sealed. Their beef contains no hormones, by-products, steroids....it's Quality. Since they do not pay for the "grading", by law, cannot, state our products are graded "A", "choice", "prime" or anything of the sort.

1) I've looked over their web site and could not find any mention of the USDA grade of their 'premium' steaks. Is the grade so low that it would be embarassing to reveal?
2) Nowhere in the site did I find a statement that the beef was of US origin. Is it from Australia, Brazil, Argentina or elsewhere? Is the answer embarassing?
I know when I go into my local supermarket and go to the meat counter the butchers aren't embarassed to tell me their meats grade and origin are.
Stating that your steaks are 'premium' quality doesn't cut it. Premium to one person can mean something different to another.
Their pricing would seem to induce a person to believe they were getting a TOP GRADE US product. Nebraska is famous for corn fed beef. Omaha is the capital of Nebraska. What would a consumer think ???
Lets clear the air once and for all. How's about it Omaha???
