In 2025, there is no ‘budget steak.’ Hell, even chicken thighs are now almost $5 a pound. Crazy times.
That had great marbling
Don’t know if I’ve ever had chuck eye but I know I’ve had a regular chuck steak and I will never buy another one. I used to eat chuck steak when I was in my young twenties and could not afford to buy a quality steak. I used to eat chuck steak, round steak, and London broil, and they were all so damn tough that it was like eating shoe leather. The chuck steak was probably the worst because it was full of fat but it was not good soft tender melt-in-your-mouth delicious fat like on a ribeye. It was really really hard chewy fat.
If I don’t find some decent priced beef before long my 3 year carnivore diet is in jeopardy.
It’s best done on the grill. Great char
sous vide that bad boy
How tinder is it?
If you like your steak well done, you don’t actually like steak.
Had a girlfriend tell me about chuck eyes in 1998, been buying them ever since, cook them right and they are very tasty
its terrible. i cook it multiple times a week. incredibly tender and way too cheap. dont buy!
Buy wagyu tallow game changer
First off…if you like your steak well-done…I’m not your friend.
I make one of these at least once a week. Delicious and great price to taste/quality ratio
Personally. I like everything. I’ve struggled before and learned to love all food haha. Thank God I’m easy haha. If it tastes good, idgaf about the fancy stuff. It all tastes the same
Chuck eyes are the bomb. But you have to like fatty pieces. Which i absolutely love
No thanks! I’m top shelf or I starve 💯😤….
Calm down Nana it’s just a joke…😒
Sous vide is the way to turn these into ribeye. Breaks the fat down slowly
I eat 3 pounds of that a day 🔥🔥🔥
Eat those several times a week because if you
hahaha those aren’t "cheap" anymore. 10 years ago, yes.
What camera do you use to make such good quality video like this
Isn’t a normal chuck cheaper lol
That’s literally a Delmonico
The only bad thing with the chuck eye is the lack of beef taste. Texture and marbling are really well. It has a lot of fat what can carry a lot of tasting but it just have nothing to carry. But still a good Cut.
I tried cooking a chuck steak just like a ribeye and it was tough as hell. So, if you don’t mind tough meat, then yeah this is great.
That’s basically well done lol
Love a chuck
Im.not a steak expert, but im subtracting two credibility points for dude wearing a ball cap and subtracting another 10 credibility points for wearing his hoodie over his cap…. so regardless of what he says at this point, he zero credibility in my book.
I can tell the difference. Chuck eye is definitely a buy.
I assume chuck eye is different to chuck steak? Because you could never cook chuck steak like that… What you COULD do is slow cook chuck for hours on a low heat and then cook it like a steak.
I think this is as good as a ribeye if not better. I find the flavour better cause it closer to the shoulder and it is just as tender as ribeye if you get the first or second eye cut.
No steak is for you if you like it well done 😂
chuckeyes are especially good slow cooked (or pressure cooked if you don’t have much time).
Basically, start it off with a sear, then put it in a pressure or slow cooker with some sliced onions, garlic slices, any spices or additional aromatics, and cook it beyond well done (to 200 F to get the connective tissues to break down). Ends up being fork tender and incredibly flavorful, without being too fatty
It does taste as good as a Ribeyes..better than a filet. Filet is tender but not full of flavor. Chuck is the end of the ribeye. People are catching on and it’s getting expensive
Finally someone who doesn’t act like OMG it’s not $37 so it’s garbage
I like mine rare
10 dollars per pound expensive asf for a chuck
I just bought a chuckroll and learned how to dissect it. Way more fun.
This is a good one. What are some other contenders? Flat iron was my guess.
I go to the local hispanic markets and get ribeyes for the same price you paid for that. They have to readjust their bandsaw when I come in because this bolillo likes his steaks thick.
I think the rest of the world has caught on.
Chuck eyes are no longer all that budget, atleast not near me.

To much fat, flap meat is my favorite and very easy to cook
It’s connected to the ribeye
thats play doe
Its good when you jaccard it, dry brine 24 hours and reverse sear.
Chuckeye steak was cheaper before you goofs started making videos about it lmao
Not many store have chuck eye. I believe top blade or flat iron are better option. at about 7 bucks per lb.
Personally my favorite cut. Stop telling people the price keeps going higher lol
If you cook that like a ribeye or filet it will be tough
