snarkysteff, 
I am only allowed “soft meat” until week four of my recovery, so I’m going back in time to a neglected budget-friendly masterpiece meal of the 1970s:
The Salisbury Steak.
Meaty, rich, glorious. Won’t break the bank.
Great with potatoes, rice, polenta — and freezes very well too, which I’ll be doing.
