First Time Chuck Eye Steaks
A shout out to MossyMo and others who got me curious
About Chuck Eye’s, Thank you
OK here we go. A little raggedy looking, raggedy meaning not uniform like the Rib Eyes I buy. But It’s all about the Flavor, Right ?When I put them on the grill they looked OK
After just a bit they started separating, when I turned them one fell apart in several pieces, but not to be discouraged I trudged on.
I put mine on as soon as I flipped the other two,
As far as cooking time, the same. I did take one little sample off the one that came apart, “Pretty darn good
Brought them in let them rest about 5 min. Then time to eat.
Flavor is great, it would really be hard to tell the difference in it and a Ribeye.
The pictures of the ones I chose have very little marbling “Trying to go worst case scenario”
The texture was just “Slightly” different; they were NOT tough at all, Not quite as tender as the Ribeye’s I usually get, But The Ribeye’s I buy have lots of marbling. They were not tough or chewy; actually mine and my Wife’s had a portion that was melt in your mouth tender.
I am a Ribeye snob, picky, picky.
Is it as good as a Center cut Choice Ribeye NO, BUT in saying that it’s very close.
And for four bucks a pound cheaper, Definitely a great piece of meat.
I just got back from the store and picked up 3 more packages if that tells you anything. Sale ends today.
In the future I’ll have to see what the regular price is and compare.
All in all a damn good steak for the price.
Our local store had these on sale for $4.99 lb. Bought 4
Here are the three I chose for tonight's cook I picked the ones with the
least marbling (Worst case scenario)
You can see the one on the right has a little more marbling and a couple of places had
a little sinew not bad though.
Seasoned up just like my Ribeye's and waiting on the grill to heat up.
Sorry about the Crappy Pics used my phone camera (Really wasn't going to post this
You can see where the one started separating
The one fell completely apart Oh Well it's about the taste
And a pic of mine
Thanks for looking
