Questions about Beef chuck eye steak
How do you cook beef chuck eye steak so it stays tender?
Pat it dry, season it and sear in a very hot pan with a little oil, turning once; a steak about 2.5 cm thick usually needs around 3–4 minutes per side. Rest it for 5 minutes, then slice across the grain.
Is beef chuck eye steak good for grilling?
Yes. Grill it over high, direct heat and turn it once; use a thermometer and cook the centre to at least 63 °C, then rest for 3 minutes. Its marbling helps keep it juicy, but avoid prolonged cooking over low heat, which can make a steak chewy.
How do you choose beef chuck eye steak at the butcher’s?

How long does beef chuck eye steak keep in the fridge?
Keep it covered on the bottom shelf of the fridge and cook it within 3–5 days of purchase, or by the use-by date if that comes sooner. To keep it longer, wrap it airtight and freeze it; defrost it in the fridge before cooking.
What can you serve with beef chuck eye steak?
It works well with chips or roast potatoes, peppercorn sauce and a green vegetable such as green beans. Slice leftovers thinly for steak sandwiches or add them to a salad.
