Date night does not need a reservation. It needs a grocery list.

This 1.5 lb petite sirloin with asparagus risotto cost 18.49 total. We served half the risotto, so dinner for 2 came out to 13.36. That is 6.68 per person for a steakhouse style meal, and we still have risotto left for tomorrow.
Petite sirloin is one of the most underrated cuts. It is usually inexpensive, lean, and cooks fast. Because it is lean, it can overcook quickly. For rare to medium rare, you are looking at about 3 to 4 minutes per side depending on thickness. Let it rest and do not overthink it.
Cooking like this is how you eat better and spend less at the same time.

No spices at all , are u serious?
You say "start of with olive oil" but it looks like you're starting off with a dirty pan lol
Beautiful!!!β€β€β€
We love a frugal man not a cheap man. This is too sweet.
My only complaint is the steak needs to be well done. Burgers and steaks always well done. Try it you'll love it.
I like how you call people out.ππβ€

What kind of rice was that?
Add your meat and tip
You are killing me smalls, I am trying to cut carbs and lose weight. That risotto looks delicious and I love asparagus, too. I think I will do the asparagus risotto, minus the risotto.
Beautiful
Spoon please
Looks good, but if you eat it you'll be a mean green farting machine.
Now i'm gonna try all these dishes, mixy mix! Drop it like its hot, awesomeπ
What is w/ adults talking 'baby talk' these days? Mixy, mix? Nothing unique or adult here.
How does anyone take you seriously?
It sounds toddlerish.
Love this.
Sadly people are lazy and wonβt spend the time for a good home cooked meal. Itβs amazing how much money you save eating at home, plus you know exactly what is going into your meal. Love the content β€ π
Just found your page you got a new follower thanks for all your tips and friends. Canβt wait to put them to use.
"It's Lent friendly!" Bless you!π₯°ππ

Ty Ben! Yea Richard. Ladies first..π
You had me at all that cheese β€
Hai que Bello, you started with it's lent friendly then Steak showed upππty Tio Benβ€β€β€β€β€
I want to cook this. But I have 1 question. Is there a way to slow down the video so I can catch everything you say? But back to the food. That looks so good and I need to watch my penny, so itβs okay if I have to rewind the video a few times and honestly you do a good job teaching us. π
-3 mixy miss please.
β€Amen, Brother. May Jesus Bless!β€
God if I could find a man like you!!!!!!
I wish I was able to keep cooking like I used to, but I can no longer stand long enough and afraid to try to sit cooking. So I'll just cook vicariously through you.π
Bro quit staring at the camera i feel like looking back its weird
Love your channel. You cook for real people that live paycheck to paycheck β€οΈπ
I appreciate the pro tip about smacking the bottom of the plate.
