Chuck Eyes

[browneyesvictim]

Pretty straight forward meal for me and Mrs BEV. Hand cut chuck eyes, loaded baked potatos, smoked and caramelized onions, (mushrooms for the Mrs. and a porter. Seasoned with SPOG and added Rosemary and Thyme. Grilled on the little Smokey Joe with some RO Ridge, and maple chunks.

This guy was making all kinds of racket disturbing my peaceful grilling.. He decided to roost in the trees behind my house last night, then again disturbing the peace with his incessant gobbles this morning. I might be posting in the poultry section next.

Looks like a great meal! That turkey would make a good meal as well!

That's a great looking meal! Nice medium rare on the steak...the only way to eat one.

If only I was closer to you I would bring the 12 gauge and be eating smoked turkey tomorrow!

the chuck eyes? were they chewy or tender cooked med. rare like that but that porter looks good. Never cooked a chuck other than a pot roast, maybe I am missing something

The wife and I love Chuck-eye! I usually pan-sear them, but that looks pretty dang good!

I have been studying and practicing breaking down large primal cuts (youtube etc). I can buy whole Chuck Roll (116A) at a local restaurant supply which is where chuck comes from. With this very large cut you can get several chuck roasts and chuck steaks or the very prime part I like to cut out is the chuck "eye" itself. On the cut, this is where the ribeye cut starts and the Chuck roll begins. And the rest is ground for burger. Most excellent ground beef that is!

Never bought Chuck steaks before. Looks great!

In my experience chuck steaks themselves can be kind of stringy from the layers of sinew. Marinating helps, but it wont exactly be a ribeye. ...But if you cut out the eye and leave a little fat!

Thank you. And I agree. But turkey jerky is my favorite way for those.

That's a great looking meal! Nice medium rare on the steak...the only way to eat one.

Thanks a lot! I might just see about getting the 12 Ga Ithica featherweight out of the locker tonight.

Thanks Richie. I have a hankering for more already!

You are too kind. I love onions like that. I don't know why I don't make them more often. Oh yea... mamma doesn't eat 'em. Oh well... more for me!

Thanks Rings. Sometimes I see just chuck eyes packaged in the store, or if you ask the butcher to do it for you... Better yet, peel it out yourself and grind the rest for burger.

Yup---Chuck Eye Steaks are much better than Chuck Steaks.
I found them to be slightly more "Chewy" than Ribeyes, but other than that their only weakness is they seem to fall apart easily while grilling.
Yours look Tasty!!!:)
Like.
