  • Chuck Eye Steak (vs. Ribeye Steak)

    From Jill McQuown@21:1/5 to All on Tue May 20 19:38:41 2025
    I've mentioned in the past how nice a chuck eye steak is. It's cut from
    the part of the shoulder of the cow pretty much right next to the ribs
    where the ribeye comes from. Nicely marbled, very tasty. And it costs
    a heck of a lot less than a ribeye steak.

    I went to Publix Supermarket after work today to pick up a few things.
    Just for fun I went to the meat aisle. I found the only (last?) package
    of chuck eye steaks. Two steaks, nicely marbled, each close to 2 inches
    thick. I cut them into smaller servings and wrapped them.

    If you look up the original Delmonico's Restaurant in NYC, some say the Delmonico steak they served was chuck eye steaks. No one really knows
    for sure. According to Wikipedia:

    "In the mid 19th century it was Delmonico’s practice to serve whatever
    the butcher thought was best that night as its "Delmonico" steak.[3] It
    was accompanied by Delmonico potatoes, a serving of mashed potatoes
    topped with grated cheese and buttered breadcrumbs and baked until
    browned. A Delmonico steak is often considered to be cut from the first
    3" of the chuck eye."

    All I know is chuck eye steaks are delicious. And they still cost a
    heck of a lot less than single ribeye. The two chuck eye steaks I
    bought today cost $15. That equates to $10.79/per pound. The same
    price for a single ribeye is $16.99/lb. and that's the "sale price".
    Trust me, chuck eye steaks taste just as good and are worth looking for
    if you like steak.
