A chuck eye steak is a cut of beef that comes from the upper shoulder (chuck) of the cow, near the ribeye section. It's often called the "poor man's ribeye" because it shares a lot of the same characteristics—rich marbling, beefy flavor, and tenderness—at a more affordable price.Each cow yields only a few chuck eye steaks, making them a bit harder to find than ribeyes. They're best cooked with high-heat methods like grilling, pan-searing, or broiling. Because of their marbling, they stay juicy and flavorful with minimal seasoning. If you can't find chuck eye steaks, ribeye or flat iron steak can be good alternatives.
