Okay, so I have several cheap...

Okay, so I have several cheap, lowish quality ribeyes and 2 cheap tiny filet mignons from walmart (so you know they're not good quality). I don't want to just eat these straight up as steaks as they're just not good enough. The filet mignon is so-so but the ribeye is tough as shit, no matter how rare it is, and has some huge motherfucking fat strips throughout instead of consistent good marbling, and that turns me off. (pic not mine, shitty google pic)

Anyway, what's something I can do with these? I think just making them as a steak would just be a disappointing experience, as it has been when I've made other low quality ribeyes. What do?

>What do?

Jaccard to tenderize it. Marinade for flavor.

Or, slice thinly and use in a stir-fry

partially freeze, shave thin, cook hot and fast with a little salt, garlic powder, onion powder, worchestershire and thinly cut onion. make fucking steak sammiches. while it's still on the griddle/skillet put a piece of provolone over it to melt and use a spatula to move it onto a nice bun.

Had to google Jaccard. Ashamed to say that I have no meat tenderizers/mallets/etc at all in my kitchen. I have multiple times wished I had.
Is it worth the cost? Is there a cheaper alternative to that brand that works as well?

Amerifat here. Grind it up and make a burger.

Sous vide, its makes shitty steak edible. Plus that steak is not "lowish" its shit tier for sure. But who cares sous vide will make it good.

Yeah either Burger it or stir fry it

No grinder to make it into mince. :(

Stroganoff niqqa

What do you have?? Besides the rib eye? At least a knife right?

Also did you consider the Stirfry at all??

Dice it up and make chili

Ah shit yeah why didbt I say this

Lol, I have all the other basics - decent knives, cast iron skillet, etc.
I was also thinking maybe a stew in my enameled cast iron dutch oven but it does seem a little overkill to use ribeye meat, even shit-tier, for a stew. But I'm not going to eat it as a steak, so....maybe.
I would do chili but we just had chili yesterday and still have a little leftovers from it.

Usda choice is decent quality.

cube it and make some amazing beef and veggie stew, OP. or go on and make the fucking steak sammiches.

Teriyaki the shitty filet.

Cheese steak the shittier ribeye.

Do what the chinese do. Chinese restaurants use the lowest quality meats yet when you eat it, it's really tender. Wanna know why and how?
It's baking soda. Take your steak and slice into thin strips. Then sprinkle baking soda, use a light coating. Then you let it sit for about 20 min.
After, give it a thorough rinsing.
Cook whatever you want with it. The meat will be tender and soft. Your welcome.

I recently had a rare ribeye steak, but I could barely eat it, since I had eaten too much beforehand. It was midnight, so I needed to do something with my plate of cold, half-raw meat.

I stuck the bloody steak in a marinade of apple cider vinegar, kimchi juice, red wine, crushed peppercorns, a bay leaf, a little salt, some raw garlic cloves (crushed,) and a enough water to cover it, and forgot about it for about a day, as in, 24 hours

Then I boiled the marinade and the steak three or four times, adding a chopped onion and 3 or 4 chopped cloves of garlic for the last boil, without removing the raw whole cloves that were in the marinade. Whether I added some diced potato early on in this or not is a matter for historians to debate.

The result was delicious. Even the boiled steak, which I was going to throw out, was tender and juicy.

Stir fry beef & broccoli I actually use cheap sirloin or Walmart steak for the beef actually. Kebabs marinade em up and grill em over a charcoal grill.

Slice it thinner and make chicken fried steak
