Here’s one idea. 
We had the rare luxury of a two burner kitchenette during a recent stay in Tokyo. We took full advantage and dream walked through several glorious shopping trips to the local supermarket to load up. Per usual, this store was stocked with beautifully packaged groceries, a dazzling variety of perfect produce, and a heart stopping meat emporium. The cheapest cuts on display rivaled the best available back home.
For one meal, we bought a wonderfully marbled slab of beef for approximately USD$15. Couldn’t resist the great looking asparagus and scallions. Didn’t buy any oil or seasoning. The market provided complimentary pieces of fat, which we used as grease and seasoning. Borrowed a bit of the powdered seasoning from the dry ramen packet, and ready to chef. Results were pretty good for a MacGyver effort.
