My family used to have beef in the rotation at least once a week, maybe twice. We did affordable cuts of meat, nothing fancy- london broil or chucks for slow cooking. The price has gotten so insane for beef, we haven't bought anything other than ground beef (only on sale or in large discounted quantities) in over a year. Probably better off for my heart and cholesterol but I do miss those meals now and then.
We also only buy salmon when we can find it 50% off near its date at aldi. It's vacuum sealed so we nab it and freeze it right away. Large chest freezer in the basement has been clutch. But finding deals on beef is tougher than a well done london broil.
