Looking for cheaper but equally good piece of meat?
Flat Iron Steak
Petite Tender or "Cheap Hanger Steak"
Denver Steak or "Boneless Chuck Short"- may be hard to find
Chuck Steak
Season > wrap & chill for one hour > Sear both sides for 3 minutes > place in oven @ 450 for 5 minutes (do all in a iron skillet)
 

IMO there is no inexpensive substitute.

I would try to balance out the meals over the week by eating a couple of inexpensive meals and then splurge on the rib eye.

Also, keep an eye out for the manager's special markdown packages after a big weekend.

Good luck!

No I’m not. :laugh:
Striploin stuffed with Goats Milk Cheese , Wild & long grain rice with Brussel Sprouts.
Its a bit on the burny side but that’s how I like it. BBQ ‘ed.
 
Mama likes Ribeye's but I prefer a thick cut Porterhouse or T-Bone.

I agree with both of you, no cheap substitutes would take the place of a ribeye, in my opinion. And like Bea said, if you have to eat inexpensively for a week or two to have enough to spend on a ribeye, it's well worth it. We've tried a lot of different steaks over the years, but a boneless ribeye is our preference all the time.
 
I hated Brussels sprouts when I was 5. Trying again in young adulthood I found them wonderful; steamed or boiled, with butter and also roasted on a sheet pan tossed in olive oil & salt.

I think children often find them too bitter.

I hated all vegetables as a kid, but I do like Brussels sprouts like you do Rose, steamed with butter or oven roasted with olive oil and seasonings.
 
I tried BS or brussel sprouts last year just to see if my disgust for them going back to my childhood was justified. It was. I took one bite and threw them in the can. Kind of odd because I love cabbage cooked everyway especially fried in butter.

My father introduced my to brussel sprouts and other non popular vegetables when I was younger so I got accustomed to them. Brussel sprouts are definitely on the bitter side but some butter or oil and salt definitely changes all that.
I’m wide awake. I should be sleeping.
 
I've discovered Chuck eyes at Wally World. I find them almost as good as Rib-eyes and considerably cheaper at $7.98/lb They come two to a package with a package weighing in at a pound more or less. I just finished one for lunch. Pan fried it on medium in a little butter for about 4 minutes on a side and then put on a little A-1 sauce. No veggies, no salad, no nuthin. Just steak fried in butter and A-1 sauce. The perfect meal IMO. :cool: I have another one thawed out in the frig and 12 more in the freezer.
