A few days ago - one of my HappyUP!!!s involved a money saving idea that I promised to share. This is a GREAT one.
If you are a vegetarian - this won't help you out much...sorry, maybe the next budget stretcher will help you out.
If you like steak - this is for you.
Have you seen what a single rib eye costs? - it can be anywhere from 8 to 11 bucks...easy! That is enough to make one become a Economic Vegan.
I am here for you - check out Filet Mignon...uh....I mean London Broil. You can get a big slab of that for around $4.....and turn it into Filet Mignon.
Shhhhh - don't tell anyone what you are doing.
Step 1 - get yourself a piece of London Broil. Throw some garlic salt (or regular salt..or tenderizer) on it and then FORK THE CRAP out of it. After you make some good size holes, this would be a good time to pour on some Worchester or Soy Sauce or whatever you like on your steak. Fork it some more.....this is the key. Forking TENDERIZES and is what is going to make this seem like a filet.
Step 2 - lay your piece o beef out and cut off all the big pieces of fat. Then, cut it in bite size strips....you come back and then cut those into cubes
Step 3 - put them on skewers and grill them up however you like
Step 4 - "hey, the filets are ready," is the next thing that you say.
FACT - when people get meat on skewers, they will eat less. In addition to your base cost being less, so is your consumption per plate. I find that I get about 5 pretty full skewers from this. Your meat cost is about 80 cents a person.
Just right - in these days of a challenged economy.
