We had the same , too—until we woke up to the benefits of frozen meat. In reality, the freshest, most delicious steaks are often frozen. (Yes, really!) Taste is just one reason why it’s time to say bye to the butcher counter and say hello to fresh, flavorful, frozen meats.

In fact, flash frozen beef can deliver an even better end result compared to its fresh counterpart. Think about it: A fresh cut of beef should be cooked immediately, because it only stands to degrade in quality (unless properly dry-aged) as time passes.

You’ll know the “freeze history”

One of the reasons we think frozen meat gets a bad rap is because of the freeze-thaw-refreeze-rethaw cycle that often starts at the butcher counter. As a customer at most butcher counters, you won’t know if the meat you’re buying has already been frozen and thawed. If you freeze and thaw it again once you’re home, that second thaw breaks down more cells, leaching out moisture, texture and taste. With Champs, you’ll never have that problem.

Flash freezing locks in flavor and freshness

We hear the term “frozen vs. fresh” a lot, which implies that it’s one or the other. At Champs, frozen IS fresh. That’s because we’re able to process meats as close to the farm as possible then flash-freeze and seal them immediately to lock in all the flavor. It’s a simple idea that only a handful of suppliers can do well. Champs does it best.

Are frozen steaks as good as fresh?

There is an age-old debate among meat scientists that asks the question, “Which is better: fresh or frozen?” Our experience has been that there is no difference in quality. In fact, our frozen beef may be more tender because fresh, conventionally marketed beef goes through its aging process during trans-port.
