    Thank goodness we have Kwik Trip gas station near me. Five pound bag of potatoes for 99cents and butter for $2.99 this month. As for those steaks, they are select grade, the lowest you are allowed by USDA to see to humans. Tough as nails but still have flavor. If you are willing to spend the time to read each and every weekly ad and plan ahead, buy right, you can eat very well. I don't have the kitchen nor the "nuggets" to do YT vids, but if I did, I'd do videos on how to shop for food and make staples into a meal for far, far, less than most households spend. Sort of a "dorm delight meals on a budget" show.

      @@djokawari1 I stand corrected. "Standard and Commercial grades of beef are often sold as store-brand meat. Lower-quality grades, such as Utility, Cutter, and Canner, are mainly used in processed foods and for ground beef." I would not eat it personally. There are many choices that exceed "standard and commercial" that are quite affordable. Those lower grades, lower than select are quite often used for things like "Chili with meat" and other products. I don't ever see those as meat you can buy at the counter, even at Walmart.

      @djokawari1 I believe it's the lowest grade in the grading system, however, beef does not have to go through the grading system. Ungraded beef can be anything from great to really bad. If you buy a 1/2 cow direct from a rancher, it's typically ungraded. It might be a great, Angus cow that was raised to the highest standards but was never graded. Or it could be a cow that they know will never be great, but they butcher it for sale to places like prisons.

I bought one for myself couple of months ago because I was curious I cooked mine similar to yours and to be honest with you I didn’t expect too much, but I was surprised by, how good it was considering where it came from. I have watched at least four of the videos with other people cooking the three dollar steak from dollar tree. A lot of them just said it was horrible well looking at the way they cooked their steak it does not surprise me that they felt that way I think sometimes these people need cooking lessons, thank you for your intelligent approach to the dollar tree three dollar ribeye steak.

Obviously, when you buy a thin steak from Dollar Tree, you know it's not going to be a Prime Cut. That doesn't mean it's worthless. It just means you have to treat it differently. This steak would work well as a breakfast steak or toss it on a hoagie roll, and it could be an excellent steak sandwich.

    Walmart used to sell this same brand of steaks (Stampede) of 6 in a box for around $10. Only larger steaks. Can't remember if they were sirloins or rib eyes. That was pre COVID era before food really got so high.
    I used to eat them all the time. My wife however said they tasted like shoe leather.
    I put one of the dollar tree steaks in an air fryer and mixed it with some ramen noodles with beef seasoning.
    I thought it was actually pretty good.
    I personally think these steaks are a step above the hamburger meat that McDonald's uses. If you can stomach their hamburgers, then these steaks are not that bad.
    I'd say the people who say these steaks taste awful are used to eating wagu or kobi beef or some high priced steak from Ruth Chris (Chris Ruth) steakhouse.
    My only complaint was the steak shrank quite a bit after I cooked it.

    Back in the early 70s, I worked at a restaurant that highlighted those canned potatoes. They drained them, let them dry completely then deep fried them. We served them with BBQ sauce or Ranch dressing. Customers got about 5 in a monkey dish (small bowl) with their choice of dip. They were called Ranch Potatoes and came with every order. They were delicious!
    Bit of history:. The restaurant was a small chain that started in Santa Clara, CA. They were the first restaurant to serve their own version of Ranch dressing on the menu rather than the original Hidden Valley Ranch dressing.
    PS, the music is irritating and unnecessary.

    In my younger days I made many, many such meals as this. IMHO, you did the best thing you could have done with the asparagus and bacon - I absolutely ADORE Farmer John bacon because of its low price and 4-slice package. I'm a widower, and I generally never need more than four slices of bacon for any reason. The potatoes I would have microwaved until hot, mashed roughly with a fork (my mother-in-law refers to this not as mashed potatoes, but "assaulted potatoes"), and hit with butter. The steak appears to have jumped in quality (or at least size and cut) since the last time I went to Dollar Tree. The best usage I have found so far for Dollar Tree steak is to (YES) dry it as much as possible, chop up small, brown the bejeezus out of it in garlicky oil, and throw it into your spaghetti sauce. It's really good that way - try it. Note that this does NOT mean you shouldn't also put some sort of pork or pork grease - marinara sauces LOVE pork grease, and beef, while a nice addition, is NO substitute, no matter how greasy it may be. I have proved this on the stovetop many times.

    Make sure these are good ie safe to eat. I have seen people put in cart, walk around store for hour and then take it out and put on shelf of crafts whatever, they decided they didn’t want. So make sure they smell okay.
    Could get a few packs, cut the fat off. If it’s gray or yellow - probably not going to be decent to eat. But for stew, brown and season well and then add in onions, garlic, potatoes, carrots, add in broth (chicken, or I like Progresso French Onion soup, it’s vegetable based) and bring to fast simmer. Also before putting broth etc in, Add tablespoon flour., stir around until it’s cooked, get rid of raw taste. Then pour in broth and then into the crockpot and let go for a few hours until the meat is tender. In fact you might want to do the meat first brown and season, then put the broth in and into the crockpot - let it cook first 1/2 -3/4 hour while you work on the vegetables the same as mentioned above with seasoning and get the rest of the broth hot for this batch and all into the crockpot with the meat.
    Remember when adding flour, you need to cook it off in pan with the meat or meat and veggies for a few minutes to get rid of the raw flour. Add the broth into the pan slowly and stir until it’s well incorporated then add the next bit of broth until it’s all incorporated until smooth, no lumps and add in the rest of vegetables and more broth. It will need plenty of broth so the potatoes and carrots, etc have time to cook and get tender too.
    If this doesn’t make sense, then go and look at crockpot beef stew.

    So if that steak weighs 6oz and cost $3 then the actual price is about 8-9 dollars a pound. Just wait for your local grocery store to have ribeyes on sale and get a much better quality meat.
