I picked up three packages, each with 5 pieces of steak. The price ranged from $19 something to $20.52 or so, therefore it appeared the deal was three packages for $20.52. I was excited, but knew I'd need to come up with some menus that weren't just steak and side.
I led off with this dish, which is a take on Tabbouleh, but with freekeh instead of bulgur. Freekeh to me is like a combination of bulgur and barley. It has the great grain flavor of bulgur but with a slightly chewy texture like barley.
I also found a recipe for steak with orzo and stroganoff sauce. I have a lot of orzo for some reason. That's for later.
Mangia!
