This is another Butcher recommended cut of beef , and another you don't see alot . After he turned me onto the chuck eye steaks , I followed his lead on this too . Very tender cut . I was really surprised . 3 cooks , done a bit different . First one came from the butcher @ $10.99 a lb .
Seasoned with steak seasoning , wrapped and in the fridge . Couple hours .
I cooked these indirect with mesquite chunks , no sear .
Resting and sliced . Tender and juicy .
So these are fantastic . At 10.99 a lb . Not sure about the price . Those 2 steaks were right at 1 pound . Good way to feed a couple of people for 10 bucks .
So I was at GFS one day looking for something to smoke . They had cryo vac'd " Chuck Tender " Which to me is a roast . So I bought one .
I was surprised when I got home , they were Teres Marjor untrimmed . Six in the package .
I paid $35.00 for the 6 . I think it was $5.35 a lb . Well worth that price .
After the trim .
So the 2nd cook I seasoned the same , but held under vacuum for a couple of hours .
Cooked indirect with some smoke , then seared .
Resting and plated .
These got away from me . I do alot of cooking by feel on the kettle . These are so tender it's hard to tell how done they are .
3rd and best cook was straight over the coals .
Seasoned the same , but right on the fire no hold time .
I fold the tag ends under so they cook more even .
Over the hot coals . After first flip .
This was the best .
It's a great cut of beef if the price is right . Went up to $5.99 a lb at GFS already .
Works good for the family that some like rare / well done or in between .
One thing I don't like is buying high dollar steaks and watching someone pic at it because it's " bloody " or having to cook it well done .
Just thought I would put it out there , thanks for lookin .
