i think i'm going to set a thread world record today - cheapest steak featured itt
wasn't planning on buying a steak when i popped into albertson's for a half dozen diet dr. pepper 2 liters, but i had to check out the meat aisle, as this location always has a deal going - i can't remember the last time i paid more than $7.99/lb for a steak, and usually get out of there for $5.99/lb
found this bad boy underneath a stack of funky strips with $2 off coupons -
the fine print in orange reads "this product was sold with a $4.00 off coupon"
$1.38 steak? freaking fabulous!
decided to render the side on low until i got enough fat in the pan then raised the temp to medium, flipped every 30 secs until the crust looked acceptable, then rested in a 170* oven for 10 minutes
here's the results -
no idea why it gave up so much juice while resting :???:
was it the best steak i've ever had? no - but it was worth every freaking penny
obligatory EMC (wasn't satisified enough to get up and take it under better lighting)
anybody else got a submission in the sub $2/lb category?
