Feed your entire family for 10 bucks! This week's recipe and budget breakdown:

Chuck Roast 2 lb (3 lbs, ~6–8 pieces): $12 (Smart & Final)

Pantry staples on hand: Olive oil, butter, garlic powder, salt & pepper.
Quick Prep Steps:
Prep the Potatoes: Preheat oven to 425°F. Cube the russet potatoes and toss with olive oil, salt, garlic powder, and paprika. Roast for 30–35 minutes, tossing halfway, until golden and crispy.
Season the Steaks: Slice the chuck roast into steak-sized portions (about 1-inch thick). Pat dry and season generously with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
Sear the Onions & Steaks: Melt butter in a hot skillet and sauté the sliced onions until soft and golden, then set aside. In the same skillet, sear the chuck roast steaks 3–4 minutes per side for a deep crust, then let rest for 5 minutes.
Slice & Serve: Slice the rested steaks against the grain, top with the buttery onions, and plate alongside the crispy roasted potatoes. Boil or char the sweet corn as a side and serve hot family style!
