My wife and I are trying to eat better. Think less processed foods. We eat too dang much chicken. I like my beef but don’t like the prices. What cuts are good but less expensive? I’m not really a roast or slow cooker type guy. Looking for something I can do on the grill or in a skillet.

Sirloin. Grill it no more than medium. Pork is good to. I stay away from boneless chops cause they tend to be on the dry side. HEB has what they call pork ribeyes. Those are great on the grill. Get yourself a digital thermometer for grilling pork. I grill my store bought pork to between 150 and 165.

Lean is better imo if red, younger/smaller is healthier fish/seafood wise, 0 processed meats, 0 chicken. That's my life plan. On the other hand, I do eat just about everything. Out on the road working, special occasions, you get imvited over for fried chicken, etc.., it happens. I never purposely choose those things, day to day though.
It's a hard line to walk brother, and moderation is key. Almost 20 yrs as a self proclaimed healthy eater

Just about any recipe that calls for beef you can substitute venison for. Pork, sub wild pork. Come on man dihedral you guys get to hunt year round down there " food" should easy to come by, I would think. We just made smoked pulled pork bbq sandwiches last night, on the smoker. Could also use the same for carnitas. Venison chile is another hit here. All kinds of sausage can be made from game or " cheap" cuts of meat? We make cherzo, breakfast and Italian. I know what your talking about the price of meat though. I spent 65.00 on pork loin ( don't have access to wild pigs here) to make the pork sandwiches. Hopefully I will be able to add some of that " wild" pork to the freezer here in a couple weeks. We are going down there to try a get some. Also the killer fajita recipe in that section on here, is great with just about any kind of meat. We made it with venison, and dove so far, fantastic stuff. Who ever posted that recipe should be kissed.
Edit. Oops just re read tittle, beef ! Tougher cuts ,flank steak make great fajitas !Last edited by critter69; 02-24-2018, 09:56 AM.
