In this video I will show you the secret cut that will save you a lot of money on ribeyes. I like to call it ribeyes little brother. It is a portion of ribeye that can be found in the chuck sub primal cut. The difference in price can be staggering. It is called a chuck eye. You should definitely look for this cut on your next trip to the grocery store.

I've been out of the meat department for just over a year, but they needed a little help last week. I went to cut up some chuck roasts and pulled out a prime chuck roll. Yeah, 2 SWEET chuck eyes came home with me. The new kids didn't even know what they were! The new generation don't even know. Sad stuff.

Agreed. For 35-40% cheaper, it's a no-brainer. In fact for cooking at home on the stove, I think I've actually enjoyed the chuck eyes more than the ribeyes I've bought in the supermarket.

Also, I no longer get cramps in my legs (while sleeping) arms (while exercising) or hands (while playing guitar). Oh, I nearly forgot...I just turned 54 and I'm getting erections like I did in my late 20's again (not even joking). I never feel bloated (as I did when I ate carbs) and I never really feel hungry. The only downside is that I sometimes forget to eat because of that last one. After a few weeks my cravings for junk food went away too.

Also transitioning from keto to ketovore (lost almost 100 pounds so far and my dad reversed his type 2 diabetes on keto). I was able to buy ribeye from aldis that was quite good but still about $7.50 per steak. I need the fat in my meat because lean meat pushes my BG up higher than I want, so I’m keep my macros with a higher fat:protein ratio for my carnivore (ketovore). I need a good fatty cut of meat that I can afford!
Same is true of pork - there are "country ribs" you can buy that have a ton of flavor (for me, often tasting like steak) that come from that end of the loin going up the to the shoulder/neck...
Can you make a video with animations with where the different cuts come from on the cow, what the cut's of meat characteristics are, and what meals they commonly are used for?

Full breakdown?? YES PLEASE!! Your vids are great btw. I did over 4 years in store meat departments, but most of them are very slow to train, there's some stuff you just don't get to for a while.
Talk with a local butcher. I asked what is the cheapest best cut and he said these. They are soooooo good. I have a NuWave oven, and I cook them with salt only 5 minutes per side...better than a restaurant, and where I get them, like $4-5 dollars for one.
Careful--we don't want this cut to become TOO popular! Then not only will it go up in price but it will become unavailable in many areas. That's what happened to oxtails in my area. Even the specialty butcher shops tell me they can't get them. Same thing happened with skirt steak for fajitas, once a cheap cut, now hard to find at any price.

That's why whole briskets are so expensive now. People would go to a restaurant and try some smoked brisket and liked it. Then they said I could cook that myself. Much cheaper. The demand sky rocketed. Prices went up. Supply was less than demand. Next the price rises because of this
$10 for a small box of low sugar cereal is insane.
Thank you for posting this video. Just checked my GA Publix store and chuck eye is $9.49 lb. We don't live in the city, but the cost of cheapest meats are ridiculously priced in GA. I never thought I'd see the day when Americans were told that 1lb of chopped beef (hamburger) would cost more per pound than a minimum wage job pays per hour. I feel so bad for the children who are home eating processed hotdogs because parents can't afford a burger for them with rent and utilities increases. Grocery stores are never made accountable for food price gouging the public.

There’s a chefs store type of store in Baltimore that we go to. It’s called Restaurant Depot. I’ve got chicken drums on clearance for 10¢ a pound., and NY strip in a whole piece for $2.99/lb. You have to deal with 40 lb box of chicken though and you have to work fast packing it for the freezer to stop spoilage. You have to had worked on the restaurant business with your work ID to get the membership card. We got through recent food shortages that way.

Our local Wegman’s sells chuck eye steaks in the summer but chuck eye roasts fall thru spring. I prefer to sous vide the roasts then sear on cast iron or put them on the smoker and they make great pulled beef.

I cook my steaks the same way. Would recommend using bitter herbs, Moors Mesquite Marinade, add a little butter and cooking olive oil while searing and instead of setting the oven on bake, I usually set it on High Broil and place the steak on the top rack - about 4-5” from the heating element. Flip only once, adding a couple thin slices of butter to each side when you stick the skillet in the oven. Cooking it this way seems to char the outside better than just a regular bake setting.
Thank you !!~

20 years ago I found these at Kroger on sale for 1.99 lb, regular price 2.99 lb. I bought some and have been eating them ever since. I always felt like I was beating the system with these cuts and they are still my favorite. Price has gone up over the years to 8.99 lb at Kroger for the Nolan Ryan Angus brand, but they will run them on sale for 4.99 lb periodically.
Just found your channel and I am over the moon excited!! I am a long time carnivore whose primary source of food/fuel is beef. On the average I eat about a 1-1/2 to 2 pounds of beef a day, supplemented by some butter and salt. So, yay to have found you! My question is about chuck....not the eye but the portion that is labeled "shoulder" or "pot roast" in the stores. Can you address where THIS cut is on the beef roll and how the heck to know the difference. Thanks a ton and you have a new subscriber!!
Love Chuck eye steaks, that’s all we buy!
You earned my subscription. Thank you!
I find chuck eyes in the “Manager’s Special” section of one of my local markets. I picked up 2 the other day for 5.99 each and they both weighed over two pounds. I smoke them on my Traeger grill at 225 degrees for 2 hours, then wrapped them in foil and continue to cook until the internal temp is about 180-190. Great smoke ring, tender when cut on the bias and great for steak sandwiches for several days. A real bargain and pleasure to cook and eat. I can afford to buy any cut I want but why should I when I can find these bargains. My Mom was a meat wrapper in the olden days. It ruined her hands and wrists but she taught me about meat and those valued lessons have done me well over the years.
Yes please! Chuck roll break down!!!
First video I've seen on your channel, well done, good info.
I have bought these chuck eye steaks and sautéed them. While flavorable from the butter, garlic, thyme and shallots, the cut is tougher than ribeye.
Please do a complete Chuck Roll. Thanks

Well, thanks to you I visited the US Food Chef Store in Utah (1.5 hours aways but so is Costco and Walmart from where we live!). I loaded up on slicing meats today. I had the commercial slicer out already. We saved so much money and are stocked up on Mears, pasta, canned peeled tomatoes. Next trip is going to be all Steak! I didn't have a cooler!
Follow the line of the spinalis dorsi muscle to find the end of the "ribeye" leftovers in that eye cut where it then becomes a chuck eye. Some butchers leave quite a bit. It is generally the large processing houses that leave the most useable "ribeye" cuts on the chuck. Independent butchers will not do that as they want to get all the premium cuts they possibly can out of the subprimal so you will be better off buying from places like CostCo than your local butcher. (SCA Competition judge, 5 years)
Yes! Full breakdown please?!?

I buy rib roast from my local meat processing company for $8.77 a lb. Cut it into 12-15 steaks. They never have Chuck eye rolls displayed will ask for it. I only eat meat so I make bone broth meat soup out of the Chuck roasts. Meat processing companies are a great place to find meat deals!

@ButcherWizard, OMG! I actually started with large roast (cheaper) to simulate more expensive brisket when I was learning how to smoke! 2nd roast in, I noticed after trimming how nicely marbled, what I now know as the eye, it is.

Whenever I’m at the store and see Chuck eye I buy them out.
I love the chuck eye. My butcher does bigger cuts though and i always would rather get 8 oz, but i can't complain because it tastes amazing.
Chuck eye steak has been the biggest secret at Costco and Sam's Club for many years, but you got to get there when they open because they usually only have maybe two to three trays tops
