Don't Miss A Thing!Budgeting with Barbara: Steak Doesn’t Have to Be Expensive to Be Good
I bought 2 ΒΌ pounds of Beef Round Tip Round Steak the other day from my local Safeway store. It was on sale, and then an additional 30% off the discounted price. (I love the clearance section in the meat aisle –I purchase approximately 70% of my meat from there.) Because it was an inexpensive cut of meat, I decided to soak it in my homemade marinade overnight to tenderize it. The next night, I broiled the steak, and then cut it against the grain into thin strips. It was mouth-watering tender and delicious! My boys ate their steak plain with a side of leftover rice and fruit salad. For my dinner, I added steak strips to a fresh spinach salad and my husband ate his portion fajita style. Easy!
Everyone ate heartily, and there was even enough left over for lunch for my boys and me the next day. The total price I paid for 7 portions of steak: $6.24. (Just .89 per serving!)
Thanks for the great tips about inexpensive meats. Would you please share your homemade marinade recipe?
Absolutely! I would love to share my marinade recipe(s) with you! There are multiple variations so, to make it easy, I will write them up and submit it for my “Budgeting with Barbara” article, which will arrive in your inbox on July 2nd.
Thanks for asking!
