Gary’s QuickSteak History
Gary wanted a quicker cooking and higher quality steak for his Philly cheesesteak restaurant chain in Lincoln, Ne. so he developed and created a product that turned out to be incredible. Gary sold his restaurant chain to begin selling his new steak directly to restaurant owners.
Gary started Heartland Beef, a company that patented and pioneered his new steak across the country that later became known as the legendary “Steak-EZE” which became a 500-million-dollar industry. Gary sold “Steak-EZE” in 1999.
Gary felt compelled to get back into the restaurant business, so he created a new Philly cheesesteak restaurant concept, Pepper Jax Grill, which featured “America’s Best Philly”. Pepper Jax Grill was so wildly successful that it quickly became a top 100 restaurant chain across the country. Gary attributes all this success to his new and improved Philly steak, Gary’s QuickSteak which is still served at Pepper Jax Grill today. Gary sold Pepper Jax Grill so he could once again bring his new and improved Philly steak product, this time Gary’s QuickSteak, directly to restaurants and consumers.
Gary started a new meat manufacturing company, Glenn Valley Foods, named after his father. Glenn Valley Foods is in Omaha Nebraska where Gary’s QuickSteak is made. Gary’s QuickSteak is available in over 5,000 grocery stores today and is served at many national restaurant chains with limited international distribution.
Gary’s QuickSteak moved into a brand new state-of-the-art meat processing facility which recently earned the rigorous and credible food safety and quality certification SQF (Safe Quality Foods) which is recognized by retailers, brand owners and food service providers world-wide.
