We all know a cheap steak or schnitty can bridge the gap between hunger and a pricy meal out of the town. And for all you broke-ass uni students that gotta starve themselves for the week so they can afford the $31.50 mymulti train ticket and not have to risk jumping the barriers, a filling yet affordable meal like this is exactly what you need.
As you’ve probably experienced yourself, for most of us these days, escaping from a restaurant for under $25 a head is an absolute godsend. Sydney is no friend to the frugal. But after doing a bit of digging, the cheapest eats in Sydney come from the west (of course) and they were almost all steak and schnitzel dishes. What does this mean? Finally being able to eat your fave meats without having to break the bank. And for all you gym-junkies, some of these dishes are even cheaper than that protein shake you’re drinking right now (and probably contain more protein too). Fingers crossed your girl ain't a vegetarian, because I know where you’ll wanna take her tonight... and the rest of the year.

You gotta visit this place not just because it’s so cheesily cute and everything is homemade, but you get free bread and free jugs of house-made lemonade brought by Nonna Maria herself who is actually so adorable!
Zest Grillhouse, Rooty Hill
Boneless Rib Eye Steak - $16 Best Aussie steak of the list (and yes I know it’s more than $15), but I had to put this here because this steak is practically Western Sydney’s equivalent of the pretentious, Steak & Wine co. on darling harbour. Delicious and massive steak which you’d normally expect to be triple the price.
The Cooks Hill Hotel also has a huge $10 steak
