chuck eye steak

[WTM]

i think i like these better than rib eyes and only 7 bucks for two. never had tried them before.

 

[CritterGitter]

I love them! . Good cheap steak

I've had good luck with them. Overcooked a chuck roast in the oven the other night based on recipe instructions and it was actually better, reheated the following day

 

[archer19]

Yep my favorites!
Buy them every time I see them at the grocery store.

I hardly EVER come across them here other than from Wagyu farmers. We've done taste tests here where Wagyu/Angus cross beats prime ribeye.

Here's a good explanation of where it comes from.

^^^^actually my wife likes a ruined steak. so she asked which one was hers and had a steel mallet in her hand. she commences to beating the living yugo out of that steak down to about 1/2" inch or so. then she says cook it until its burnt.

you know after i was done, that steak was still juicy and tender. i couldnt believe it.

Occasionally our local grocery store meat dept will have chuck eye....never knew anything about them until last summer when I saw them and noticed the nice marbling...and the great price... grabbed a pack and grilled them.... fantastic. Now when we see them we'll grab a pack and freeze them.... actually thawing a couple for this weekend now.

Chuck roast much similar to the pork butt(shoulder) cut on a pig. Great fat to lean ratio for about anything. Usually way less cost, but still a very versatile cut beef or pig. Both aint just for slow cooker or the low and slow smoker.

I remember roasts being $3.99/lb at Kroger not that long ago, now it's normally 9.99/lb. I buy it when it goes on sale for $7.99

Love those steaks, been eating them for years.

I am going to be on the lookout for them but not sure I've ever seen them

i always like the chuck end cut of a prime rib roast. i think its better.

Nope, the ones my wife has bought over the years seems like more grizzle than meat. Wife and son loved them, but I told her don't waste the money and only get one if you want them.

 

[mike243]

Never had grizzle in a chuckeye steak, sounds like you need a different butcher lol

Never tried them , do y'all tenderize them or do anything special to break the meat down?

 

[tn24]

Mods please delete this thread. And for everyone who's thinking about trying these. Don't do it! And everyone who has already bought them. Don't eat them! Send them to me and I'll dispose of them for you out of the goodness of my heart.

Nope, do them just like a ribeye.

There's a reason they are known as "poor man's ribeye". Unfortunately I made the mistake of getting hooked on filets and that's all I want now. (Save the tired old lines about ribeyes having more flavor, etc.)

You and my wife. I sous vide some filets and that's all she wants now. When I tell her it's steak night (which we do every Friday night), I typically do ribeyes. But when she sees I got her a filet, her face lights up. If we're out, that's what she gets

Your wife is a smart woman with good taste in beef! I had never used sous vide on a filet until a few days ago. I bought some filets that were 2.5+ inches thick. The first one I cooked with my normal method (direct/indirect) just wouldn't get to medium in the middle without leaving it on the grill way too long. So the last one I did sous vide then threw it on the hot charcoal for 2 minutes on each side and it was perfect!

Looks perfect! You got the perfect color on the outside too. I see why your wife loves steak night.

Why would you want to burn a steak to medium?
