No more Filet Mignon for you! You're punished for your new economy mob mentality. Just buy whatever cut of steak is on sale. We're talking low-grade mystery meat here. Don't worry, the marinade will help tenderize it.

2 steaks which were on sale
generic cola because you can't afford name brand stuff
as many peeled cloves of garlic as you can afford
salt
pepper

Take your steak and put it in a non-metallic bowl. Cover with generic cola and throw in the garlic, salt, and pepper. Let marinate for 4-5 hours. For especially crappy cuts of meat, you better let it soak for 10 hours.

BBQ for about 5-7 minutes per side. When you see beads of reddish moisture coming out, your steak is probably done.

Sigh…Filet Mignon is a luxury of the recent past…

Serves 2.
