Hi all,

Just curious if you folks have ever heard of chuck-eye steaks?  I been cooking them for years now and I thought I'd see if anyone else grilled these up.

It is what is known as a butcher's cut and one of the still best kept secrets of die hard grillers.  There are two on each side making four possible.  Chuck is one of the more flavorsome roasts on a cow but is also a very tough cut making it good for things like chilli.   Not this piece.  It is as well marbled as a rib eye, as tender as a tenderloin, all the flavor of a chuck and as cheap as round streak.

When you can get it you can normally expect to pay about $5-$7 for two steaks about an 1" to 1 1/2" thick.  It responds best to high dry heat i.e. grilling.  I normally sprinkle it with coarse salt about 1/2 hour before cooking and than another light sprinkle just before it hits the the grill. 

Jim

I have been able to find these from time to time and have grilled them, but it isn't one of my favorite cuts.   They do need to be cooked on a lower fire and take a little more time. 

It isn't something we consistently find in the meat case at our neighborhood super market.

Jim (1st biggrin), I will give you that it's not as good as a rib eye but for the price it it's a good week day steak. Ever since living in Kansas City nothing stops the grilling, rain, wind or freezing temps. My wife has many time shook her head at me grilling while it snows. I'm lucky now as my Green Egg is wind proof, fairly resistant to cold weather and in a breeze way.  I hope what you got was a chuck eye.  For me they have always cooked like rib eyes, hot and fast.

Jim (2nd), I hope you can get them.

Jim
