Tips from the Ranch
Cut Your Own Steaks and Save
From James Billman and Micaiah Stonehouse
- Pre-cut steaks usually cost $1–3 more per pound than a whole roast. Buy the roast and cut the steaks yourself.
- Keep the fat side up on your cutting board.
- Use a sharp knife, not a serrated one.
- Cut straight down for even steaks, as thick as you like.
- Trim the fatty end if you only want the eye of the ribeye.
