I’m all about sticking to my budget.
Unfortunately some of my favorite meats are on the expensive side.
Tender cuts of beef like tenderloin and filet are delicious, but can get expensive.
Even the ever-popular chicken breast is the most expensive cut of chicken.
Plus, bones act as insulators that slow the cooking process.
That prevents the meat from drying out, hence the phrase “tender at the bone.”

But that’s easily remedied by watching it closely to prevent overcooking or by turning it into kebabs.
Just cut it into 1-1/2-inch cubes and thread it onto a skewer with some veggies.
