Steak

Buy a whole chuck roast. It's the same muscle as rib-eye, says Smith, and tastes very similar, but costs between $3 and $5 a pound (versus $7 to $11 for rib-eye). Ask your butcher to cut two steaks out of the first 4 inches of the eye of the chuck roast, then have him grind the rest into hamburger.
