Tips for Cheap Steak and Meal Prep00:32

First tip: take large cut of meat, put in freezer briefly before cutting, great for large primal cuts like ribeye roasts or using meat slicer; get partially frozen. Working with New York strip, entire chunk 11.3 lbs at $10 per pound. Pre-cut New York strip steaks at Costco cost more per pound; this saves $4 per pound. Can cut however thick wanted; prefers thicker steaks. Store mechanically tenderizes some meat with needles, which tenderizes but pushes bacteria from outside into meat; this one not tenderized. Cut up the meat, then cook one (actually two, since daughter Alyssa wants one).

Cutting the Steak01:30

Use nice sharp knife to avoid shredding meat. Knife sharpened. Pat dry. Doesn't like Costco steaks too thick; prefers thickness of the knife. First cut: pull towards self, no sawing. Results in beauty with nice fat cap. Got 10 thick cut New York strip steaks, each $11 for choice grade at $10/lb ($4 less than pre-cut). Took total 6 minutes including 1 minute to sharpen knife; just 10 cuts.

Preparing and Cooking Steaks02:32

Many ways to prepare; Dr. Sean Baker likes sous vide, one of best methods but trouble if no equipment. Normally low and slow then hot and fast, often in smoker, but 0 degrees outside so use cast iron skillet. Take two steaks, put in oven until grayish, pull out and sear on stovetop.
