Looks really good.
The one grocery store I go to out of the 2 has them made up already and I'll grill them once in a while.

And there are only 2 per cow. Not exactly sure what that meant. I looked at them closer and they looked and felt real tender. Only about 8-12 oz each. So I bought 3. Gave 1 to a friend. They were excellent. And the best part was they were only $6.99#. I’ll be looking for them again when I go back.


Hidden gem with those steaks for sure.

Here's from Saturday night. I should have taken more pictures but I had friends over.
Big range day in my back acreage with ARs and carry pistols. After we got done, I fired up the Weber and seared 4 nice ribeyes with pita bread. Excellent day.

Looks damn good. I will have to check out that cut of meat. After looking it up, the first cut off the chuck is actaully part of the ribeye.

For those interested.
Really a great cut of beef and relatively cheap. I will buy Select grade and these steaks turn out awesome. Choice grade is even better but more $ per pound than Select.
I get the Weber over 600° and sear right over the charcoal.

Chuck eyes as the picture states are the transition portion from the chuck to ribeye, the problem like the pic says is there are only a few per cow. It used to be super cheap steak that was just as good, probably better tasting than a ribeye, but you get less from it because they are smaller steaks and higher fat (chunks not marbling). I really enjoy them, but you need to dig through and find good ones. Some are too fatty and it's not worth it when you throw away a bunch. For me it's Ribeye, Flat Iron, Chuck Eye, and filet for my top favorite steaks.

I see yours are tied with butchers twine. Did you trim fat then tie it back together?

I did trim as most of the time I have bought Select grade chuck eye steaks.
Ribeyes are my favorites also but they aren't that cheap anymore.

Garlic butter basted Porterhouse steak over Jealous Devil lump charcoal.
Gauge was spiked on the lid thermometer. I'm thinking around 700° and it was a quick sear and then moved to the other side of the kettle.

No pics but bacon smash burgers on the Blackstone tonight were really good.

I did a long, slow cook on my Yoder today. No pics because we ate the evidence. I took a small chuck roast and smoked at 225° until it was 160°. The I wrapped it in butcher paper and ramped up the Yoder to 300° and cooked until 195°. Next wrapped in a towel and put it in a cooler for one hour. Outstanding


I'm sorry if I hurt you feelings when I called you stupid - I thought you already knew - Unknown

They burn super hot and I'd like to say as long as Kingsford but they don't. You can always add more just like briquettes.
I use the Weber chimney to start lump and briquettes. A hardware store by me sells these firelighting squares that are basically pressed cardboard I believe. They're called SureStart firelighting squares.

how to save pictures from a website

Some more chuck eye steaks. Same as I always do over Jealous Devil lump charcoal but I butter basted this time. The crust was awesome.
