Just go to Omaha Steaks and order them
Are you shipping THAT MANY steaks that you can’t just buy more when you’re down there?
Or are they of that high quality?
There are cloth baskets with ice packs in them that can last a very long time now.
Carry-on ice chest with dry ice if possible. Maybe one of those new-fangled ‘soft’ ice chests.
Eat them before you travel? :)
I fly often. Anything out of the ordinary the TSA or airlines will screw it up. Guaranteed. Omaha is my usual departure point. Do Omaha steaks overnight. Relax and enjoy your trip.
Find an Omaha Steaks Styrofoam cooler (much thicker than normal Styrofoam coolers), pack it with steaks and dry ice, and ship it in checked luggage? Can you put dry ice in checked luggage? Check TSA and airlines.
My Dept at the University where I work makes the best ice cream. I have shipped it and steaks to Anchorage, AK in the middle of summer. I have used dry ice but there ARE restrictions on how much is in the styrofoam cooler. Wrap everything with newspaper and cover with more before you put the lid on.
Mailing Frozen or Refrigerated Foods
I've ordered perishable croissants from Williams-Sonoma. They're always packed in a styrofoam container with dry ice, and mailed two-day shipping.
Years ago, I'm talking over 50 years, my mother used to ship hot dogs made in Rochester, NY to my uncle in California. She used to pack the stuff in dry ice, but I have no idea how she sent them, or what condition they were in when they got there. The options for shipping perishables today are far better. Good luck.
They’ll ship for you but why?
If you live around DC, you’re around butcher shops with prime beef and you can pick the cuts yourself.
Cheaper and better than Omaha too.
The soft cooler versions of a Yeti do not recommend dry-ice usage and I doubt TSA will let dry ice in a cabin. If it is steaks and you want to carry them on board, buy a plastic-ice to pre-freeze and a good soft cooler like a Yeti and have the steaks hard frozen prior to placement in the cooler and it will stay frozen for four to six hours and refrigerator cold for 24.
I don’t think most of the people responding understood your question as written.
Meat, fish, vegetables and other non-liquid food items are permitted in both carry-on and checked bags. If the food is packed with ice or ice packs in a cooler or other container, the ice or ice packs must be completely frozen when brought through screening. If the ice or ice packs are partially melted and have any liquid at the bottom of the container, they will not be permitted.
You can pack frozen perishables in your carry-on or checked baggage in dry ice. The FAA limits you to five pounds of dry ice that is properly packaged (the package is vented).
Even if an item is generally permitted, it may be subject to additional screening or not allowed through the checkpoint if it triggers an alarm during the screening process, appears to have been tampered with, or poses other security concerns. The final decision rests with TSA on whether to allow any items on the plane.
Why would you want to fool with carrying that around when you can just order online? I hate carrying around a lot of stuff at the airport.
They sell steak all over the country. Find a local butcher.
Why do you need to carry them? The ship all over the world.
My Daughter gave me a hundred dollar gift certificate several years ago along with a coupon for a discount. The company was Omaha Steaks. The prices still seemed unusually high but I went ahead and ordered.
A few days later, I got a mailer in the mail for special deal which was about half what I had paid.
To make a long story short, the worst customer service I have ever dealt with and the steaks were not very good either. The only thing which was acceptable was their hamburger patties.
Will never deal with them again and advise no one else to deal with them either. Their prices are way out of line for steaks not as good as I get from the local super market.
Stop off in the Midwest and get some real grain fed beef.
Leave that chewy grass fed stuff out west.
Just keep them as cool as possible and let them ride.
My ex was a chef in Switzerland and he would come here and get whole filets two feet long from Costco and take them back, frozen, in his suitcase to Switzerland. And not declare them. They were fine upon arrival.
