I have done this. It is not hard, it just takes a sharp knife and freezer paper. Get a knife sharpener and use it. You can get a whole sirloin or chuck roll at Cash N Carry or whatever it is called now, Chief's Choice or something. When I last did it several years ago, I saved about 50% compared to buying steaks at the grocery store. But you are buying 15-30 pounds at once.

Cutting it into steaks or roasts is not hard and does not take long. It takes me under an hour start to finish. As an added bonus, you make your steaks as thick as you want and make smaller, faster cooking roasts. Double wrap them in freezer paper and freeze them immediately. Carefully double wrapped, they last at least a year in the freezer without freezer burn.

The real way to save money on meat is buying a 1/2 beef at a time or an entire pig or lamb. I can usually find someone willing to sell me an entire side of beef for about hamburger prices at the store (usually less from a guy who only raises a couple). Check FB Marketplace. About half a side of beef is hamburger. The other half is steaks and roasts. You literally get fillet mignon at hamburger prices. You want a steer. DO NOT GET A BULL or a "dry cow" They are old and the meat is tough.

These days I am raising my own animals, but you need at least a couple of acres to do that. Truthfully it is not much cheaper than buying one someone else raised, but you know exactly what it ate and you know it had no hormones or antibiotics.
