Perfect ribeye recipe
1-2” thick ribeye. The thicker the better
(I personally do 3-4” thick)
Olive oil
McCormick Montreal steak seasoning
Dried tarragon
Cover steak to taste with seasoning and tarragon. Drizzle both sides liberally with olive oil. Let marinate at least 3-4 hours. Longer is better.
Sear on hot grill. Cook to your desired doness.
Thank me later.

The tarragon adds an amazing flavor when you sear the steak and burn the fat.
Everyone I have shared this with swears by it.
Also works wonderfully on my Christmas prime rib.

I buy T-bone, filet mignon or Ribeye usually 2 times a week from Albertsons or Walmart(I like the T-bone the best). I lightly season it with garlic pepper. Sometimes I'll add fresh rosemary or thyme(I grow myself) to the pan with olive oil. While it's resting, I grill some onions or mushrooms in the leftover juices with a little butter. Occasionally I will make some au jus or some kinda sauce for it just to mix things up.
Unlike BillRyan, I pay a little more than 99c for my steaks.

I have become a Flat Iron steak guy. They are relatively cheap and very easy to cook. I heat my grill up as hot as I can get it and cook the flat iron for 3 minutes on each side for medium rare.

I have heard it's kinda good, but have yet to try it. I have been turned off by the name for some reason. I like really tender steak. I hear packing them in salt will tenderize any steak, That sounds like too much work and a waste of salt, but I might try it next time I get a NY.Quote: DRichI have become a Flat Iron steak guy.

Oftentimes I will fry the filet mignon first for a few minutes on each side untill it caramelizes and then add it to the preheated oven for about 8 min.

Flat-iron steak is something of a compromise. probably 85% as good as ribeye at 60% of the price. But us rich b45tards don't look at the price of food, do we, Axel. $:o) Life's too short.

Thirteen tiny little squares of shredded wheat came out of the package, so I added one more and had milk and cereal for breakfast. Water, then water with lemon juice a few hours later. Lunch was five tablespoons of garlic hummus.

Ramen from Japan - you have to buy in an Asian store or on the web
way, way better than the cheap China ramen you get in Safeway
costs more but still pretty cheap - 5 packages for $5.00. add a little chicken and your tasty dinner will cost only about $3.00

We did a bonfire at a pumpkin patch 2 weeks ago. We cooked hot sausage with onions and peppers and corn on the cob in the embers.
Best corn I ever had. I saw online somewhere. Soak corn in husks in cold water with a little salt. Soak for about 30 minutes. Take corn in husks directly from water into the embers. Cook about 15 minutes. I left one in for nearly 30 and it tasted the same. It was the most juicy corn that I ever had.

I had beef fajitas because seasoned beef flank fajitas were reduced $3-$4. Never tried fajitas, so I went for it. I guess it was so-so to good. The funny thing in order to save $4, it cost me a lot more because I had to buy red, yellow, orange and green bell peppers, plus sour cream, tortillas, guacamole, taco sauce, salsa. Didn't really need the salsa or guacamole probably, and I'll have a lot of it left over, but the spend was around $20. Also purchased things to make tacos, so these things will have use, although they're also unnecessary unplanned purchases.

Making fajitas and tacos at home seem to get expensive. We ate doing tacos tonight. By the time you buy the peppers and meat you already have $20 tied up in it. Over the weekend we went to chilis. They have 3 for 10. You get a drink, appetizer, and a meal for $10. Fajitas are one of the choices. Plus I had a coupon for a free kids meal so the 4 of us ate for $21.

Where can you buy gyro meat, is it pre-cooked, if not, how would you cook it properly?
I have a place near me that has good gyro's. I buy pita bread(or whatever you call it) just for this situation. I will ask for double meat and extra Taziki. I then chop up my own onions and tomatoes and get 3 meals out of it.
I dust my gyros with a little ground cayenne pepper to give it a nice little kick.

I used to eat a lot of gyros from gyro kits I bought at Aldi, but I got tired of them completely. They're good, but once you defrost a package, you feel obligated to eating gyros for the next 5 meals. 5 gyros for $7 kind of ruins getting 1 gyro for $5-$10 even if they're loaded with meat, or not loaded with meat, like at some casino restaurants.Quote: billryanDepends.

I had never heard of them before. It looks like they actually own Trader Joe's. Supermarkets in NY and on Long Island for the most part are much smaller than in Vegas and don't carry as much. Rents are just too high. The same company owns most of the chains so little competition or incentive to modernize.

Aldi is a grocery store actually owned by Trader Joe’s I believe. Great budget store, wal mart or better prices without wal mart experience employees paid decent and decently staffed. But limited selection of things.

It’s always busy but they handle it well. Certain McDonalds or Wendy’s seem to completely choke when things get hectic, but I’ve never waited more than 3-4 mins for my food at Chik Fil A.
I never do the drive thru though. Sometimes at the one location near me the line gets so long it overflows into the street and starts blocking traffic.

I had a chicken club sandwich since I needed to get a meal combo for at least $10 (because of the gift card). The meal included French fries shaped like little waffles with holes in them. 20 years ago I ate French fries several times a week. Now I eat French fries once a year.
