Hi Donna, I’ve cut and pasted a definition from the web… But here, in Texas, you can find chuck eye steaks already cut and packaged in the beef section. It’s commonly referred to as the “poor man’s rib eye.” If it’s not available in your area, any butcher can cut it for you.

Chuck Eye Steak ~ “The Chuck Eye Steak is cut from the chuck eye roast (Chuck Primal), lower down from the rib primal. This means that this steak is a similar cousin to a Rib-Eye Steak, but isn’t as tender or flavorful. This steak is a good low cost alternative but will dry out faster than a rib eye. For this reason, it shouldn’t be overcooked and may benefit from a good marinade.”

It’s good. Try it!

I made this recipe, I’m new at this kind of cooking so I might have browned mine to much. And I used skim milk instead of water. Mine were only in the oven 50 Min. I checked them at 30 then 50 with a meat thermometer I was at Med at 50 so I pulled them out. So good!!!!! For such a cheap piece of meat I was amazed. I might try a hammer tenderizer next time. I don’t think of it till they were floured and browning.
Great starter recipe and I’m very happy with my results
