    Steaks - Best bang for your buck

    Prices range quite a bit for steaks.. real cheap ones, IMO, are just no good. I'm thinking the best bang for your buck is boneless sirloin. Delmonico is good but expensive, NY strip and t-bone, same thing.. rib eye is awesome but fatty...

    Anyone agree? Disagree?

    Flank is kind of expensive though, isn't it? I wonder what has less fat, london broil or sirloin?

    Yeah I like to marinade mine for at least 24 hours. London broil can be tough if you don't marinade it.

    You can find LB super cheap if you look around at the different grocery stores. Last time I bought it at Bi-Lo it was buy one get one free so I got about 5lbs of LB for around $11...can't beat it!

    Sirloin is still good... but looks like LB is the way to go. Sometimes those large Asian markets have steaks and fish cheaper than American markets too.
