What's The Cheapest Steak You'd Eat

[dishdude]

Filet Mignon only, all the other cuts I find to be too tough or fatty.

I like cutting up the Eye of round roasts, rare to med rare, its not super tender of course, but not grisly chewy either. The ones that are changing colour and 50% off are pretty good though. Cheaper than hot dogs and much better.

Chuck Eye steaks can be wonderful, if cut correctly they are tender.

Those were low profile (nice) eats for a long while like skirt steak !

I don't buy a lot of steak, but I will get the Costco tri-tip with the rub. Sear it good in the cast iron skillet and pop it in the over for 10 minutes. Butter is required... Slice it against the grain and you are good to go.

Denver Steaks from Food Lion they are good but small. Won’t eat sirloin at all it’s always too tough. I’m a ribeye, strip and T-Bone type of guy.

I don’t do cheap; filet mignon or sirloin for this man. Sorry

Top sirloin is probably the cheapest I go. Marinate for 24 hours in Greek dressing, comes out delicious and tender.

Cheddar's restaurant has a $14 6oz Sirloin with baked potato and salad.

Thats about as low as I go.

We eat a lot of steak, so we buy 1/2 beef every year. All local, farmer does the butchering. So some cheap cuts and some good cuts.

Great minds think alike

Regular grocery store "Angus" steak is the minimum. We bought beef from Wal-Mart once. 90% of it was disposed of. Never again.

I like to smoke a chuck roast then slice it thin for french dip sandwiches..

Walmart is the only grocery store around here you can actually get prime grade steak at.. Some of the best steaks I've ever had have been from walmart and I've had some far more expensive ones..

I would eat any steak. Being a picky eater was not an option when I was a kid. The end result is that I'll eat pretty much anything, even if I don't like it.

What do I prefer? Kobe would be great!

I'll cook up a London Broil as a steak, medium.

This.

Don't wan't to have to lug around a piece of luggage with me everywhere I go when I get to be 70, so I avoid red meat. Not saying I totally eliminate it though.


and OP asked about grade of meat, not what cut of meat. There are only three grades sold to the public, prime, choice and select.

You forgot the fourth grade of meat: Questionable.

Sometimes available at your local food museum.

I never knew until I was an adult that there was such a thing as a tender juicy steak. My mother was afraid any pink in the middle was going to give everyone food poisoning. It didn't matter what grade or cut of steak it was, by the time it got to my plate it was shoe leather.

Now a roast she could do to perfection...
