How to Turn a $7.99 Roast into a Week's Worth of Tender Steaks

I previously used a knife and cutting board to cut up my steaks, but I got a new deli slicer, which works really nice but certainly isn't required. Likewise, you don't need the mixer attachment meat tenderizer, as you can use several hand units, or simply use a fork to stab the meat and break up the muscle fibers. The seasoned meat tenderizer is $1 at Walmart.

There is no reason to pay full price for steak when you can buy cheap roast cuts and tenderize them cheaply and easily. The steaks may not look like the expensive cuts, but they will taste just as good.
