So let’s be honest…we’re Canadian. So we BBQ year round. Winter just means that the BBQ is closer to the door and we eat inside! But when summer comes we BBQ almost every night of the week. There is nothing better then a good steak on the Barbie. It’s not something we have every day, about twice a month we’ll have a great steak with all the fixings. We wouldn’t want to ruin our stylish figure right?
Anyhow, during the winter when we want steak we run to Blackmans Butcher Shop just down the street and grab a yummy Rib Eye steak. A hot $30 or so dollars later we are home…too expensive for us to do very often! So when summer comes I head over to Costco and buy a whole Rib-Eye and make my own steaks.
For $117.65 we got enough steak for Randy and I to have 9 Steak dinners…..$13.07 a meal, a much better improvement on the prices we pay at Blackmans. Quality wise I think the they are just as good as the ones we get from Blackmans and for 20 minutes worth of using my butcher knife we get to enjoy steak almost all summer! As you can see from the pictures I cut a generous steak, so if you don’t like your steak as thick you could get many more meals then I did! I got this huge cost saving trick from my BFF Melissa. Thanks chicky!
And yes, I do wear an apron when cooking…it’s my fancy Williams Sonoma apron…I feel like a chef in it, LOL! Someday my pink and white kitchen will be re-done so that my apron matches it, LOL! For now, I bring the style to it….well enough of that! Enjoy your BBQ’s this summer, I know we are going to…let us know you’re coming, I’ll pull some steak out!
