Cutting your own ribeyes and a great breakfast.

Friends,

One of the highlights of my Christmas this year was the delicious breakfast I enjoyed all by myself. Here's a cheaper way to enjoy some great steaks!

1. Buy a full, ribeye roast from your butcher. You'll have to cut everything yourself, but it's worth it!


2. There are many different grades to choose from. Doing this yourself can free up some money to buy a higher-grade meat. This is USDA Prime Beef. Look at that marbling!


3. The first step is to remove the ribs. Take your roast and flip it upside down.


4. Carefully cut and peel the ribs off of the roast.


5. Find the spaces between the bone and cut your ribs. These are perfect for smoking!

6. Now you're ready to start cutting your steaks. This roast was about 7lbs. and yielded (10) 1/2" steaks.

7. Breakfast! Sorry, you can't have the recipe for my famous red potatoes... Seal the steaks in individual bags and freeze them. You'll have steaks ready-to-go for any night of the week. They'll keep just fine for about 3 months.
