Don't matter the price. If you want beef, you want ribeye or ribeye cap.

I cook sirloins and London broils because I like the flavor. Just don't go past medium rare and they are good.

Eat pork or chicken while you save up money for good beef

Best advice I can give you

True, that's what I buy when I'm grilling just steaks however, they are cheaper than Ribeyes, T-Bones, and Filets.

Let me re-do my answer.

Franks Super Market sells a cut called a Patio Steak. Everytime I grill I buy a pack. They are only about 3-4oz each. You get 4-6 in a pack for $5.

I like them because the have a good flavor, they not very big so you get to eat other things when you grilling besides steak, good value and they cook really quick, only 2-3 minutes for Medium.

They also make great beef fajitas.

I think it is more important to choose at least choice meat than to pick a certain cut. Choice is noticeably better than select, regardless of cut.

Hard to beat the taste and price of sirloin.

Never had a chuck eye steak. I saw some in Rouses yesterday. I've made roasts out of them, but these were small steak size cuts of chuck. Wasn't sure what to think of those.

Wait for a sale and then buy your ribeyes in bulk and vacuum seal them. I got some prime ribeye for $10/lb last weekend. Should've bought more, but point being you can find them for good price if you're patient. I have had no issues with quality when freezing up to 6 months.

Not sure why but this made me chuckle.

Can someone tell me where I can find a tri tip around BR? I'm guessing Whole Foods? Haven't looked actually.
