Cheap Ground Beef is just as nutritious as Ribeye...
Discussion
Such a good post. It is not expensive to eat healthy. This point needs to be driven home over & over again.
I think an important point. From the same cow. Ground and steak are as nutritious from the same cow.
Any part of my farmers bovine is undeniably better than commercially vaxed cow
But not nearly as delicious tho much better than chicken π
Except is no longer cheap π
Get a deep freeze and buy a whole cow every year. Constant nutrition for quite cheap.
Had ground beef twice this week (hamburger and taco). Also had T-bone, lamb burger, a little stew meat used for Thai curry, chuck roast, and lamb chops.
Have a couple ranchers locally. We made the leap to buying whole or 1/2 animals depending on the room in the freezer.
If I could ever get a freakin' elk...
So is cheap chuck eye roast compared to prime rib.
Supermarket 20% fat ground beef is 3-4x cheaper than 5% fat and seems a far better buy IMO.

Best place to check the research that supports this?
Last years Moose tenderloin (it only lasted this long because it got buried in the deep freeze) Kids thought it was amazing (it was). Reverse seared with homemade garlic herb butter. #foodstr



I agree with Ken about the nutritional value, but if you're willing to do just a little extra work, the cost of steaks can be less than ground. Cheap is relative.
I spent $31 for 18 eye of round steaks a week ago because I cut them myself. Plus my dog got the trimmings and was very happy. That's $1.72 per steak, which is cheaper than ground beef and the cutting took me less than 10 minutes.
I bought myself a whole pork loin for $11 this week. I figure that it has between 18-20 boneless chops in it at around $0.55 per chop.
Meat purchased from GFS and Walmart, so it was conventional kafo meat. Would love to be able to purchase sub-primals from farmers, but have only found ones that charge the same price for cut and uncut.
