I used to buy them when I was about 14, 15 years old, to eat raw.  They 
were usually under $1.  Normal kids spent their money on other things. I 
prefer rare or medium rare beef, but all I got at home was medium well 
to well done, so raw was a treat.  They were tough as fuck, so I didn't 
do it very often.  If I could have afforded tender beef without cutting 
into my alcohol and marijuana budget, I'd have eaten a lot more raw steaks.

I ate those raw bottom round steaks without utensils, just with my 
teeth.  My jaws would even be sore afterward.  Life is better now. 
Saturday we had CAB strip steaks, pan seared rare.
