Can’t beat this…2 steaks for $2.08! “Manager’s Special” is the way to go! May not be the “best” cut of steak, but it was still delicious!

Ingredients
2 cuts steak ($2.08)
1/4 cup marinade ($.50)
4 potatoes ($1.oo)
3 cloves garlic ($.10)
1/2 cup milk ($.10)
2 T butter ($.20)
1 small eggplant ($.79)
2 T EVOO ($.10)
1/2 cup corn ($.20)

Directions
1. Marinate steak at least 30 minutes in fridge. Grill as you wish!
2. Boil potatoes, quartered. When soft, mash with butter, garlic, and milk. Add S/P to taste.
3. Slice eggplant. Place on paper towel and sprinkle with salt to draw out moisture. After a few minutes, flip and salt other side. Saute on both sides in extra virgen olive oil until tender. Season if you wish!
4. Enjoy a hearty “steak and potatoes” meal for less than $5!!!


Cost $5.07
