Found great deals this weekend. First up found whole strip loin for $3.49 / lbs. Only bought one but should likely have got more. If they aren't tender I can always grind them with some fat.
Trimmed it up and cut it into 3 finger thick steaks.
Next up green beans from the local Mennonite produce stand. $8 for these.
Into the 17" cast iron pan with Minors chicken stock. Made up 8 cups as I'll cook down repeatedly.
At the same place I got the strip loin I scored a 10lbs. bulk box of SMP bacon for $25. Chopped and cooked about 1 1/2 lbs along with a couple onions I had on hand. Added to the beans.
Stirred in and cooked down repeatedly for well over an hour. Ready to eat.
So good! I can make meals out of these only. Shared a bunch so actually working on a second batch from more beans I went back and grabbed. I also scored a huge flat of mixed green and yellow zucchini. I have big plans for it tomorrow. Thanks for looking.
