lets talk about meat

Hubby is very anal about steak,... He love filet but you guys knw it could be expensive by the lb per piece but the whole is to muich for 2 ppl....everytime I'm at the supermarket I see all different type of meat but never want to try bc what if he doesn't like it....
He won't eat the meat if it take to long to chew like tuff meat and it has to be med cooked nuttin cooked more then that...

Anyone could tell me about something types u see at the supermarket and what maybe good to try

Re: lets talk about meat

I love skirt steak, its not chewy at all and has great flavor...it also depends on how you cook it, if its over cooked any meat will be chewy even filet.

Re: lets talk about meat

If a piece of filet is too much for the both of you, can't you cut it in half; and freeze the rest till the next time?

If your DH loves filet, he probably will like a Porterhouse. They have almost the same consistency; very tender & juicy (if cooked right).

And probably 1/2 the price in some places.

Re: lets talk about meat

Ur right about skirt steak I do make that and he eats it most of the time... Hum porterhouse maybe iill try it isn't there a steak that has the filet along with another part?? Is that a tbone??

Re: lets talk about meat

I believe T-bone and porterhouse are the same cut - just different ratio/"height" - one is lower the other higher or one has more filet...

I like sirloin as an alternative to filet.

Re: lets talk about meat

we like skirt and filet, but I also buy alot of strip steak and rib eye too, YUMMY!

Re: lets talk about meat

We love filet also but we'll also get skirt steak, porterhouse, and ribeye (my personal favorite).

Re: lets talk about meat

Sirloin can be great when done right, and it's fairly cheap! I love this recipe: http://thepioneerwoman.com/cooking/2009/01/steak-bites/ and I pour some red wine into the pan when I'm done, cook it a bit and pour it over. LOVE it, and it's super easy.

Another thing I like to do is grill the sirloin about 3 minutes on each side (for a thinner cut-so it's still nice and red in the middle), and then cut it into strips over organic baby greens. While it's grilling, I throw olive oil into a small pot with chopped up garlic and fresh rosemary. Cook it on med low until the garlic starts to brown, and pour it over.

Easy and delish :)

Re: lets talk about meat

When I'm out I only get filet, but at home, I buy London Broil - and I marinate it for a long time - and DH BBQ's it to medium rare.

Re: lets talk about meat

We do a lot of London Broil or Rib eye's.
