Its not even cheaper per pound I imagine. Cheap steak is not that bad when you cook it right. However there are still better food choices that are still cheap and taste decent.

No, the point is, that "3.5 oz" of water, meat and gristle per $1 is a rip off in the first place. In OZ land, that's 100 grams, or $10/kg. If you are poor, you'd get more bang for your buck if you buy a casserole steak for $10/kg, and you can at least pretend it's good steak.

Protip: when someone says they lived in California it tends to imply a certain locality, not that they simultaneously inhabited the entire land mass in violation of the laws of physics.

Depends on the cut of steak you want, but you definitely want it to be red in color, you'll want to be able to see white strips and streaks of fat. If you're starting with steak, either season generously with salt, pepper, and garlic powder, or buy a seasoning mixture. Pre-heat grill or pan before cooking it, and cook evenly on both sides. Look up how to prepare it to your satisfaction (rare-medium well, don't make one well done).

i cant imagine that it's going to be the king of steaks, but at a dollar for 3.5oz then you're paying about 4.50 a pound, which is reasonable for a low-cost peice of steak. i expect it'd be fine as long as you trust them to keep it stored properly, and you dont mind it being a tiny spoonful of meat.
