No-Nonsense Chuck Eye Steak

"Asking for a Chuck Eye Steak is like acknowledging membership in a secret society. You are greeted with a knowing smile, a nod of the head, and then just maybe two will emerge from some quiet corner. There are only a couple in each animal, and although they have a taste and tenderness of the more popular rib eye, the cost is considerably less. Please... only tell your favorite buddy."

  1. Bought some chuckeye steak for buy one get one free thinking that I would probably need to marinate it overnight before grilling. Found this recipe and was pleasantly surprised that I could add a little seasoning and olive oil and grill it within minutes. Definitely worth the price, will use again.
     
  2. A friend told me about Chuck Eye Steaks, and now thats all I buy. I try to get a package around 1 pound or over. I put a little oil in a screaming hot cast iron skillet. Put in the steak and let it release itself, it knows when to be turned over, then I pop it in a hot oven for a few minutes. I like my steak med-rare. After it comes out of the oven I put a little salt, pepper, and garlic powder. LOVE IT!!!!Serve with a baked potato with sour cream and butter. YUM
     
  3. This is pretty much how I do chuck eye steaks.......simple grilling over high heat or in a very hot cast iron skillet. I also agree that unwrapping the steaks, patting dry with paper towel and resting uncovered in the refrigerator for a few hours or more to dry the surface gives a really superior crust. I first learned to do this with pricy, bone in rib eyes on a rack over a rimmed cookie sheet. the drier the surface the better the sear. flavor packed steaks like these need salt and pepper, a little rub with olive oil....that's it. Add other seasonings if you prefer , just be careful not to let them burn.....it will turn bitter.
     
  4. We discovered the Chuck Eye Steak about 2-3 years ago, and the secret is OUT! This recipe treats the steak as it deserves to be treated, simple but well. I try to make this at least once a week. LUVIN' the Chuck Eye!
     
  5. I have to agree, they are very reasonably priced and have yet to be outdone by the more expensive cuts in my view. I fix mine this same way with the addition of garlic powder. Thanks for posting.

Tweaks

  1. I cooked a couple of chuck eye steaks using you'r recipe a couple of days ago. I had thawed them out to cook while my Dad was visiting me, but we never got around to fixing them to eat before he left. I preheated my cast iron grill pan and cooked per instruction with the exception of using butter instead of olive oil. Very good flavored steak. I was almost run out of my apartment with the smoke tho! I love a place that smells like good food...Yumm Thanks for posting this recipe Bill Hilbrich
     

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

Some of you know me as Brother William. No, I am not really a Monk, but I have grown to enjoy my simple and solo lifestyle. My love for humanity is based on fellowship rather than sensuality. I PROMISE that I will never share a recipe unless I have tasted the food. Most of the recipes are mine, but I have included a few classics, and some recipes that were written by very creative people, that are just so good that I had to share. From time to time I have found recipes with my name on them in print magazines, but they are always altered in some way by the publisher. So there is no reason why you should not add your own personal touch. If you leave this page with just one thought, I hope that it would be that Cooking is a Creative Sport. I grew up in Glenview Illinois, just north of Chicago. My Mother loved those little exotic cookbooks, that were sold as a weekly series in grocery stores in the 1950's. I was taught to eat whatever was put on my plate so I ate food from a different culture every week. If I had to pick a favorite, it would be Mediterranean. After leaving my Mother's table, I have lived and enjoyed eating in Colorado, Missouri, Montana and Nebraska, before settling in Saint Cloud, Minnesota in 1975. After a 30 year marriage with mixed reviews, I am now pleasantly single again, and plan to stay that way. Up until recently, I had occupied my evenings just talking with people and sometimes sharing recipes, while soliciting donations for Non-Profit Organizations. Yes .. that's right, for over 20 years, I was a Telemarketer. The perfect job for a Taurus. I enjoy reading cook books the same way most people read novels,and I am still improving my skills in the art of Solo Cooking. However; my true passion will always be sharing my favorite recipes with all of you.
