Best & Cheapest Beef Cuts for Steaks

[bonimeo]

Hi Guys,
I’m new with sousvide cooking. This week I want to make steaks for my family, but i am on a budget.
What is the best and cheapest cut of beef to use for sousvide and without a lot of fat?

Ribeye is my go-to! But not sure if it has more fat than what you’re looking for! I’ve seen lots of tri-tips being cooked around here too. Trimming the fat is also an option.

Short Ribs seems to be the most popular answer.

Previously discussed here:

Cheap cuts of steak

So cooking steaks can get expensive. I was just wondering what everyones opinions on what good cheap cuts of meat that turn out really good sous vide are? Iv heard flank, chuck roast. Any other recomendations?

And a good article here:

If you are looking to go on the cheap side why not try eye of the round and cut it into portionds that look like a fillet.

Bottom round or prime rib? Hard to tell.

Yep, they turned out way better than mine (but your roast did as well) I tried 131F for 48 hours, then chilled for 30 mins in an ice bath, then a quick sear in a blistering hot cast iron pan (with avocado oil). Very tender and tasty (coated with garlic & onion powders, black pepper and kosher salt pre-cook). Next time I think I’ll try to recreate your results and dial it back a day. [image]

Rump/round was traditionally the most common steak down here.

@bonimeo did you decide on what you wanted to make?

I’ll probably try tri tip or eye of the round cut into steaks
