Default Not Quite Kobe Beef...

USDA Prime beef has been dirt cheap here at H.E.B. Austin the last
3-4 weeks. This week rib steaks are $7.99 (last week $9.99). Strip
steaks have been $7.99 the last 3 weeks as well. You won't ever
find anything like this at <cough> Wal****ingmart.

A measly $15 steak:

(That would cost about $70-80 at Ruth's Chris)

Cooked to an even 126F all the way through:

And plated with yesterdays leftover taters and completely from
scratch chicken sausage and poblano stuffing:
