Omaha Steaks is famous for its direct-to-consumer, grain-fed beef and other top-tier meats. Whether you’re shopping for wagyu, ribs or pork, the brand’s reputation for quality and consistency should ensure your order won’t disappoint. Personally, I’ve only tried a steak here and there, always cooked by someone else. But when I heard Omaha Steaks added smash burgers to their repertoire, I wanted to flex my fry-cook skills.
The brand says that the pre-smashed patties cook to crispy, juicy perfection in five minutes flat, without the help of a griddle. Could it be a beef lover’s miracle, just in time for summer? I, PureWow’s food editor, and VP of editorial Candace Davison tested them at home to find out. Read on for our honest reviews and original photos.
