That Cattleman's menu says their 2 pound steak is sirloin, about the
lousiest cut of beef for steak there is... sirloin is what's used for
chopped beef steak, also good for sloppy joe meat. Their menu looks
like the Olive Garden of steak joints. I will never fathom why
anyone goes out to eat steak, it's the easiest food to cook at home. I
just can't see spending $30 on a hunk of mystery beef at a resto
that's basically a grab bag, not when I can always find much better
and better priced perusing the stupidmarket meat case... I usually
don't freeze steaks but these twins looked too good to pass up and I
had already planned something else, they'll be eaten shortly:
