Omaha Steaks Introduces Steak-Cut Bacon

Omaha Steaks announced today the launch of three "Steak-Cut" Bacon options to its already popular line of bacon offerings, which includes precooked bacon, bacon-wrapped filet mignons, pepper-bacon wrapped filets, bacon-wrapped pork chops and jumbo bacon-wrapped scallops. The new Steak-Cut Bacon comes in three different flavors:

• Applewood Smoked Steak-Cut Bacon
• Peppered Country Steak-Cut Bacon
• Cajun Steak-Cut Bacon

Steak-Cut bacon is the thickest bacon available; each pack comes with 8 eight slices of premium pork that are 2 ounces per slice. The expansion of the Omaha Steaks bacon line comes in response to customer requests for additional bacon options for breakfasts, BLTs, burgers and more.

According to BaconToday.com, the average American eats 17.9 lbs of bacon per year making it on to their plate at breakfast (70 percent), dinner (17 percent) lunch (11 percent) and as a snack (2 percent).

"Bacon continues to soar in popularity, it's not just for breakfast anymore. Omaha Steaks is excited to expand our bacon offering with these great new gourmet additions perfect for any meal or recipe," said Senior Vice President, Todd Simon. "Our Steak-Cut bacon is the same quality our customers have come to expect from Omaha Steaks, it's so thick you can literally cut it with a knife."
