What you listed was more typical of our household growing up - not this fancy stuff in the article! Once in a while during the summer I’ll get two small steaks for my wife and I to grill up.

Every time I think back to growing up, where mom would get one(?) chunk of beef and the kids and her would get 3 slices of it (6”x 1” x 1/3” or so), and the old man would get 4 or 5 slices.

But then filled up on potatoes and vegetables. We never went hungry.

We started having meat, like you describe, after my mom married my stepfather. He insisted we have more meat. It would often be a fairly thin steak (lots of surface area), cooked under the broiler, and divided up as you described.
