Will the beef be fresh when it arrives at your door?
  • All the beef online companies have money back freshness guarantees
  • Special packing ensures that the beef will remain frozen or chilled for 40 hours after being shipped out
image How is the beef packed for shipping?

Cuts and roasts are vacuumed sealed in plastic and flash frozen.  Sealed cuts are boxed and then placed in a cooler packed with dry ice or gel packs.  The cooler is sealed and passed to the courier for shipping.  The dry ice or gel packs keep the beef frozen or well chilled.  The flash freezing process is unlike regular freezing because ice crystals do not form in the meat fibres.

image What should you do after the beef arrives?

If you intend to cook right away: remove the gift box from the cooler, and take out the  the individual cuts that you need from the box and thaw them in the fridge still sealed in their vacuum pouches. After they are fully thawed, remove each cut from the pouch and season and cook immediately.  l

If you do NOT intend to cook right away: simply place the gift box with the cuts inside directly into the freezer. 

number 5 What kinds of cuts can you purchase?

These stores carry a wide selection of value and gourmet cuts and roasts sold in family packs and combination boxes. Beef cuts include T-bone, Porterhouse, Rib-eye, New York Strip, Prime Rib etc...  The combination boxes combine different cuts to satisfy meat lovers with various tastes.

When you order steaks online, should you be concerned about the quality of the beef?

  • No you should not.  In fact, when you order steaks, the quality of the beef sold by many of these companies is much higher than that purchased at your local supermarket.
  • Some companies specialize in grass-fed beef from cattle who have not been fed any grain and live their lives in open-pasture. 
  • Other companies are closely affiliated with the ranches on which cattle are raised.  These cattle are not mingled with those of other ranches and therefore each cut can be traced to the herd from which it originated. 
  • Others still produce organic beef products free from antibiotics and growth hormones. 
All the companies have their meat processed from FDA inspected facilities.

  • If there is a snag in shipping, or the container takes longer than 40 hours to arrive, most companies will usually refund your money - no questions asked.
