If you get thicker steaks, you will get less packages of beef. We found that a 1" cut is a solid middle ground that gives you a nice thick steak, which is thicker than what they'll give you in the store, yet it doesn't take away from too many quantity of packages. At the end of the day you still get the weight of beef you're paying for. We put 2 steaks per package on the primary cuts, which equates to almost 2lbs so you can have a meal size, depending on your family size that is. If that is too much meat for your size family, cook them both anyways as you're heating up that grill generating a lot of electric and freeze the extra portion for your next steak meal.
