It's hard to beat chuck eye steaks for value, flavor, and tenderness.  Seems like word got out about these common man filet mignons a couple years ago when beef prices soared.  I used to buy them all the time for $3.99 to $4.99/lb.  Now I never see them and when I do they are $7.99/lb or higher. 
 
Thanks Disco, We had some again last night, they were not quite as tender, but had more marbling ???

My wife's best friend came down for the weekend, so we had our Mothers day dinner Saturday Night. Chuck Eyes, Shrimp, Ribs, Baked Potato and Beans.

I fired up the ECB (Bottom Part) to cook over Charcoal and Hickory. Everything turned out great.  ------ BUT !   I was disappointed in the Chuck Eye's. I had saved the best looking ones with the most marbling for that night. They really were good looking steaks. Mine was not near as tender as I was expecting, asked my wife she said the same thing. Now in saying that, for for the difference in price I really couldn't gripe.

 Another But !!!  When I was at the Store Saturday morning I checked the regular price on the Chuck Eyes $6.99 lb.  At that price I will stick with Ribeye's now if they run them on sale I Would buy some more.

The Flavor is great, really can't tell the difference, the texture is slightly different, and the first one I did were very tender. 

Just wanted to do a follow up to be fair
