Questions about Chuck eye steak
What is chuck eye steak, and where does it come from?
It is cut from the chuck, the shoulder section of the animal, close to the rib eye. That position gives it a beefy flavour and marbling, though it is usually less tender than rib eye.
How do you cook chuck eye steak so it stays tender?
Pat it dry, season it, then sear in a very hot pan for about 3–4 minutes per side for a steak around 2.5 cm thick. Rest it for 5–10 minutes before slicing thinly across the grain.
Can you grill chuck eye steak?
Yes. Grill over high heat for roughly 3–4 minutes per side for a 2.5 cm steak, then rest it before serving; avoid cooking it for too long, as the chuck can turn chewy.
How should you store chuck eye steak?
Keep it covered in the coldest part of the fridge and cook it within 3–5 days of purchase. For longer storage, wrap it tightly, freeze it, and thaw it in the fridge before cooking.
What goes well with chuck eye steak?
Serve it with chips or roast potatoes, peppercorn sauce, and a green salad. It also works well sliced into steak sandwiches or served with chimichurri.
