Each All You Magazine has recipes in it. In the February 2011 issue they have  a 5 easy meals section. I picked one that sounded good to me to try for you. (Even though the All You Magazine isn’t around anymore you can still find the recipe below to try)

I spent $25.88 for all the supplies. I actually purchased more meat then I needed to. In the magazine they say the cost per serving was $4.45, mine was $3.23 per serving for the 8 of us (the baby obviously is a few months away from steak!).

They suggested salad and baked potato. I did asparagus and roasted red potatoes. The recipe called for skirt steak, Walmart didn’t have any so I got a top round steak. It was actually more expensive, but didn’t turn out the best in my opinion. You have to slice the steak just right so it is tender.
