How to Save Money on Steak | Eat Cheaper on Carnivore! Food Saver for Freezing Steak Cutting a whole Beef Tenderloin: …
My price point for buying steak (ribeye, t-bone, new york strip) is 5.99 U.S. per pound. I have two deep freezers and they are always stocked.
My method of freezing is simple, I wrap each steak in plastic wrap and label them with type of steak and date purchased. I then place the individually wrapped steaks into large freezer bags, as many as can fit into each bag.
Each Monday I write out my menu for the week and move all the meat I need from the deep freezer to my refrigerator freezer. I'm careful to always pull according to date.
Read the directions for your food saver. The top of the bag goes into the green slot. It should seal on it's own after vacuuming. The seal button is used to just seal without vacuuming.

I love your apron! Awesome video as always🥰
Love your apron…
I think we have the same model of Food Saver. The sous vide setting makes a thicker heat seal, so that the bag holds up better to the sous vide cooking time while the bag is in the water. I thought that I read the wet setting was for items that have liquid like freezing bags of chili or stew or meat with a marinaide. It draws the air out slower to not draw out the liquid. The dry was for anything that did not have liquid in the bag, like your steaks and other meats and dry items. And the machine is very finicky (at least mine is) on just where you place the top of the bag into the machine. I only got a good seal when the top of the bag was in just the right place and the top edge was laying perfectly flat in the machine. Took me a few trials & errors to get it right. 😊
It's a sub primal. And that ribeye sub you got may be a cut down sub primal.
You're doing fine! Those look like good steaks. Butchers "waste" a lot (they don't really) – but they do ultra trim down steak to make it look pretty. They square it off. They cut off fat and gristly parts we might eat – for normal customers (which is sad).
It helps tremendously to lay your filled bag onto your thick cutting board or a folded towel pushed up to the edge of your sealer. It’s easier to spread out the wrinkles and get a secure and smooth seal without the downward drag to the countertop.
I do the same and usually buy the same size. My last purchase was 12.50 lbs of NY strip and It cost me 6.99 per pound. Had a great fat cap. Your doing great. I almost lost a finger so be very care slicing.
12.5lb of ribeye @ $8.16/lb works out to $17.95/kg. Wow that is a bargain! Thanks for showing how it's done Anita – I've always wanted it explained carefully.
your cost per steak is $6.67 that is awesome!
Now I just have to learn how to cook the steaks.
Whenever I think ribeye is expensive, I comfort myself with considering the relative cost and poor quality of a fast food hamburger in comparison! 😂
EVERY PENNY COUNTS IN THIS CRAZY WORLD. I FINALLY TRIED THE BRISKET IN THE INSTANT POT…..YUMM
I paused the video and quickly went to the Canadian Wholesale Club here in Saskatoon and yes they had the rib-eye slabs!! Great deal! Thanks for sharing ❤
Thank you Anita cheers
Loved this! We have a food saver too. It is so handy.😊
We buy loins all the time from costco. As for the food saver, they can be finicky. If it doesn't seal on its own, or takes too long. There is a sound I listen to that I know it has taken all the air out and ready to seal. Sometimes it isn't placed quite right in the machine and it isn't sensing all the air is removed. If you just stop the process, and realign it, most times it will work properly the second time.
I use the immersion method to expel to air for ziploc bags
Butcher paper is NOT, for freezing.
I looked at Sam’s but their ribeye is twice that much!
Dry/Moist buttons
Steak is moist
Flour is dry
It draws out the liquid with the air
There should be a button on there so it automatically seals after air has been removed
I have a problem on carnivore. Did you go through this. For three days I’ve lost my appetite. I need to eat meat and fat and I can’t eat. No appetite . Is this normal on carnivore.
We do exactly the same thing after going to our wholesale butcher. To save even more money, I wash and reuse the bags several times.
Question-5:02 pm pacific time. I’m thinking of getting your recommended Ninja air frier. Yours always looks new. Would you mind share how you clean it? 😂 thanks
The one thT didn't seal was because there was an air leak somewhere..check all your sesls
My husband is a food saver crazy dude…it does help with preservation
I bough my vac sealer to seal coins for post, but have found at some stage I got melted plastic on the heat strip, which made me discard it to my appliance graveyard, has anyone else had this problem I wonder? ❤
