chuck eye steak

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.

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

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?

"Burn" to medium? Medium isn't burnt at all! It's perfect!
