Description
You don’t need expensive ribeyes and premium steaks to put great beef on the table.
Some of the best-value cuts in the meat department are the ones most shoppers walk straight past.
In this video, I’m breaking down 7 budget meats that can deliver incredible flavor when you know how to choose, trim, and cook them properly.
I’ll show you what I look for at the butcher counter, which expensive cuts these cheaper options can replace, and why paying more doesn’t always mean you’re getting better meat.
One of my favorites can still be found around $4.99 per pound — and prepared correctly, I’d happily serve it instead of cuts costing several times more.
If meat prices are eating into your grocery budget, these are the cuts I’d start looking for.
