Default I had to cut back

Today and tomorrow are the local grocery chain's annual March Madness
Meat Sale . I had to cut back though , since my wife is no longer eating
beef (digestive issues) . So I only got a New York strip cut into one
inch steaks and a couple of bags of frozen chicken breasts . I'd usually
also get some ribeyes and a pork loin but I recently stocked up on pork
and we just don't need that much beef .

A NY Strip Steak cut into 1 inch steaks? I'm not sure what you mean by
that. Did you have it sliced in half lenghwise so it wasn't 2 inches
thick, only 1 inch? The NY Strips I occasionally buy are at least 2"
thick. I don't eat a lot of meat at one sitting so I cut it in half
down the middle and cook one of them. You and your wife could split the
smaller, still nice thick steak. My 2 cents. NOTE: This wouldn't work
if one of you prefers well-done over medium-rare.

1" is certainly preferable to the 3/4" thickness that they usually cut
steaks to. In these environs, you never see 2" thick steaks unless you
have them custom cut, but 2" is ideal. A person who "prefers well-done"
steaks probably has other issues, and you might want to reconsider them
as a dining partner. If they have other fine qualities, you could
consider further subdividing the steak before cooking.

It is quite common for NY strips to be about 1" thick. There is a
grocery store where I sometimes shop that tends to sell smaller cuts of
meat, like small chickens, small chicken breasts (great for grilling)
and thin porkchops. I do not buy steaks there because they cut them way
too thin.

Well, the mesquite you all have out there next door in Texas is still worth it.

Same here. We converted a good bit in Japan to Fish based meat and
find ourselves naturally sliding back that way. Beef, pork and chicken
are still on the menu, but they are lessened a good bit and Lacto-ovo
type vegetarian or very near it is predominanant for most meals.
