About this cut

What it is and how to use it

The chuck eye sits at the front end of the same muscle that becomes the ribeye, just across the line where the rib meets the chuck. That is why it looks and eats like a ribeye, with generous marbling and rich flavor, though it can have a little more chew. It is sold as a thick boneless steak. Cook it hot and fast on the grill or in a heavy skillet.

Cook’s tipSear it in a very hot skillet or on the grill, then cook to at least 145°F and rest three minutes. Slice across the grain for the most tender bites.
