Whats the cheapest steak you've had? Cut? Place where you got it, was it good?

fuck, american "cuisine" is disgusting

This particular couple is concerning to me because they moved to Vegas for under a year for their Vegas themed channel even though they lived in California before. They also have aged so much and only eat chain restaurants now.

Steak is disgusting?

The cheapest steak anyone can have is one from another patron's plate after they left the establishment. I had this opportunity at a local place and took it along with some fries. It tasted pretty good, but had obviously gotten kinda cold. My friends gave me some shit but we proceeded to share the fries as we waited for our food

the cheapest steak at texas roadhouse (6 oz sirloin) is still delicous if you get it MR and you can do WAY WAY worse. texas roadhouse has full time meat cutters in house, the beef is always fresh. sure theres tons of amerilards who will get it well done and drown it in A1 like OP but thats not the restaurants fault. go try the steak at applebees, chilis, ihop, dennys or waffle house and compare it to the roadhouse steak, its a world of difference

>t. worked at roadhouse for a few years and the job sucked but the food was fucking great

where is that word in my prior post?

>>21436967
How does it compare to Longhorn? And why did the job suck so much?

>>21436963
as a waiter Ive done this before and felt degenerate but doing it as a customer is a whole nother level of shame. you actually went to a different table and just fucking snatched a plate? if I saw a table do this at work Id be utterly shocked and extremely judgemental

>>21436968
Based
>>21436974
They had already paid and left, so the fries would have gone in the trash otherwise. At worst, I took away some hobo's meal for the night

>>21436974
you would be shocked that someone ate free food? during one of the worst financial periods in recent history? are you shocked when you put bread in your toaster and toast comes out?

>>21436995
This isnt like 2009 people are out and eating even Chillis saw huge growth in income this year

>>21436995
i know right? this guy would probably refuse to pick and eat any wild herbs or fruit on his property because poor people do that too

>>21436973
havent actually tried longhorn. there was just no point since I had an employee discount at roadhouse and ate it 3/4 times a week as it is. but we had employees from longhorn whod come eat at our roadhouse so Id assume we were better. and the job (waiter) mostly sucked because they have a corporate policy that you can ONLY have 3 table sections (way too small, most places its like 5-8 tables which is much busier/more fun/more profitable) and more importantly the relatively low prices/popularity attracted a lot of low life scum who tipped very little/nothing at all even if you gave them perfect service, which i always did. and other gay corporate things like you HAVE to use our specific marketing slogans at your table and we will send in secret shoppers who will sit in your section and audit you to make sure youre doing everything like a perfect corpo-drone (they really do do this, frequently).

the two big upsides were the food and the never ending supply of fresh young waitresses to work with (with the 3 table sections theyd have to compensate by having a ton of servers on the floor)

now I work in an upscale place where I make easily 2-3x as much per night and only have to deal with a handful of tables instead of 12-20 shitlord tables. life isnt good, but its better.

>>21436995
>worst financial periods in recent history
it's fine right now, just a market correction post-pandemic. people need to live within their means and stop relying on pandemic era comforts to which they've grown accustomed (ie, enabled laziness and shameless self-contained hedonism).

eating a strangers leftovers when youre already in a restaurant is incredibly unhinged, autistic behavior. if youre that fucking broke and desperate you shouldnt be eating out to begin with.

>>21437011
You can live within means work etcc.. but if you arent already at a place or in the process of buying your fucked. And the whole /ck/ industry is in trouble because the spending is drying up

>>21437011
I worked through covid without a single extra day off and my perspective is of someone whose life did not change at all except for the prices of food and utilities. Shit is fucked. I make more money than average and I feel like I can't buy what I want to eat anymore. I cannot even fathom what the lowest paid of society are dealing with right now. I used to be able to buy fucking anything and not give a shit and I'd still have tons of extra money. Now if I don't price out every single thing at a grocery store I'm leaving with a 400 dollar receipt for 2 weeks worth of groceries.

>>21437015

even billionaires' kids get drunk off natty lite and cheap vodka at frat parties my guy. stop taking life so seriously

>>21436938 (OP)
you can buy a steak at the grocery store for like 2 dollars (probably more like 4 dollars these days though)

>>21437030
When was the last time you bought steak?

>>21437026
>eating some cold leftovers while i have hot food on the way is worth looking like a savage retard to everyone around me

if you are in a public place, youll get much further in life if you can at least pretend to be civilized. this is homeless tier behavior we are talking about here.

>>21437026
a more apt comparison would be scavenging for half drunken cans of stale natty lite left on the counter at a party where theres cold ones in the fridge anyway. not even the poorest retards do that, much less billionaires kids.

Not steak but I was at a second hand grocery store in early January and they had a massive sale on turkey legs im assuming leftovers from Thanksgiving so I bought a half dozen thinking I could roast them Ren Faire-style and there was some weird cartilage sinewy stuff all up and down the legs that made them terrible to eat. That was probably the worst meat Ive ever had.

>>21437037
yeah ok bro
maybe you'll eventually make more than me if you start buying triple ply toilet paper, jewelry, and expensive watches as well, wouldn't wanna embarrass yourself after all

A1 sauce gang

probably flank steak couple months back from the grocery store, something like $10 for a pound. wasn't really juicy like a ribeye or sirloin. i guess not worth it since some pork or chicken is better than cheap steak, and cheaper

>>21437940
Was it decent? How did you cook it?

>>21436967
This is probably the cheapest steak I've eaten and it is good. It's like $14 for a steak, two sides and bread. People act like you need to get the $40 ribeye but the sirloin fills me up just fine with a loaded baked potato, salad and bread and cinnamon butter. Even better if you eat in the restaurant and get unlimited bread and can down it with some cold beer in the frosted mugs.

>>21436970
I think it was implied since you're posting in a thread about STEAK.
Or are you just some sort of weirdo who can't help but find random threads to obsess about Americans in?

>>21438031
those salads are really fucking good too. and imagine being able to get anything half off. fuck I miss eating that shit all the time. the house made whipped regular butter mogs the cinny butter howeverbeit.

Some cheap skirt steak at a Mexican takeout joint for like $13

>>21437940
>$10/lb flank steak
bro...
my store semi-regularly puts prime strip and ribeye steaks on sale for the same price. then again i live in texas so meat is cheaper in general

>>21436938 (OP)
The Steak & Egger on Roosevelt & Cicero used to do $7 breakfast steak combo on Tuesdays, it was an 8oz thin flank steak, 2 eggs, and choice of side with bottomless coffee.
This was around 2010

>>21436967
>the cheapest steak at texas roadhouse (6 oz sirloin) is still delicous
Of course it's just fine. I occasionally get the smallest sirloin steak at Cheddars, loaded potato and vegetable, with salad, and it's a satisfying meal with correct portions. If I asked for A1, I'd probably be ignored until the point where I would give up needing it, likely.

As far as cheap steak, I'd totally throw out my favorite is a bistec palomilla at any cuban restaurant, and it'll cover your entire plate, be a thin griddled pounded sirloin steak, tender, and covered in lime mojo marinated grilled onions with cilantro. No sauce needed, and in fact, the steak and onions will be so juicy, you can cover it in a mountain of fries (though I prefer sweet plantains).

>>21436938 (OP)
Isn't cube steak objectively the cheapest cut? Either way I love country fried steak and any steak is good if you drown it in A1.

>>21438015
just threw it in a pan a little bit with some butter. a rare steak is like a minute on each side - not a lot of cooking involved its mostly meat quality

Many such cases, and the rest of the country is tired of such people.

their chicken fried steaks are actually pretty good but I would never order just a regular steak there like I would at a steakhouse

>>21438272
>Why get a steak from there?
They have some pretty good catsup that tastes great. Also you can stuff your pockets with a bunch of root beer hard candies.

>>21438320
>catsup

This fag probably says "supper" too.

My dad liked frying cube steaks as-is, no breading or gravy anything. I think it wasn't a cheap thing so much as he liked his meat dry and overdone.

Eye of round on manager's special from the local grocery store. Minced an onion and marinated it until it was tender enough to cut with a butter knife.

>>21438272
my wife wanted to go there, she likes certain things on the menu. I think the food is crap.

>>21437038
>scavenging for half drunken cans of stale natty lite left on the counter at a party where theres cold ones in the fridge anyway. not even the poorest retards do that
I used to do that. And when I got older I would slink around bars and finish unattended drinks and pocket chicken wings. I also collected cigarette butts and did any drugs I found on the street.

>>21438608
What’s good on the menu anyway?

>>21438630
chicken fried steak

>>21438630
she likes the trout, and the dumplings or something like that. really she likes to shop in the little store more than anything,.

>>21438844
I went to the store but my ex's shithead kid made a scene and we had to leave, do they have anything cool in there?
