Cheap Steaks: 5 steak dinners (with sides) in Dallas for $40 or less

Meat costs so much right now. In fact, beef prices are an all-time high. This surge can be attributed to many factors, from inflation to drought to declining cattle herds. And, as shoppers feel the crunch at the grocery store, restaurant owners must add rising labor costs, rent increases, and a whole bunch of other stuff to the bill.

It’s a real bummer when sometimes all a girl wants is a big, hearty hunk of meat.

And so, as a public service, we embarked on a craving-driven, city-wide search for a satisfying steak dinner that does not break the bank. The requirements: Quality beef, great flavor and less than $40 with sides (ideally, much less). Read on for the juicy gems and pro tips, in no particular order. Oh, and yes, we chewed through some tough customers, but we’re sticking with the good stuff today.
