Thanks to those who got me into chuckeye steaks. Never would have known about them without CP. My cheap heart feels ok eating these!

I just pull the rice to the side and add the egg at the very end.

Creole shrimp and grits.

That looks FANTASTIC along with the brussel sprouts. :-)

I've heard of chuck steaks but never a chuckeye. What would you compare it to in terms of flavor, tenderness, and marbling? :-)
[Reply]

It's the chuck side of the ribeye. Very similar in taste, texture, etc. some here will say it's indistinguishable from ribeye, and those people don't know steak. But for generally half the cost, it is a DAMN FINE substitute.

Poor man's ribeye. Hard to find and sometimes I have to ask the butcher. They would tell me when they were getting it in and could save me some. I asked enough at Safeway they they have started carrying it regularly with the other steaks! Usually can get it for $5-6/lb. Nothing like a ribeye but close enough for me to save a few extra bucks and not have it be too terribly different. Would highly recommend.

beef prices have come down about 20% in the last 2 months this neck of the woods. premium cuts are still high.

Happy to answer if I can, but it wasn't clear what you were asking. If I add egg or any kind of meat to a stir fry, I cook it first, set it aside, and add it back at the end. I don't usually do either, though. I'm not a vegetarian, but my stir fries usually are.
[Reply]

How do you cook them and what is the tenderness level?
[Reply]

Same way you'd do a ribeye. Grill or cast iron. I think the texture is very similar to the cap on the ribeye. It's got a little more gristle, but it's a good cut. Sometimes can find it for $7/pound. I wouldn't pay much more than that. I've seen it for $10. If I'm spending that much on a steak at the grocery store, I'm buying ribeye.

I only cook steaks in cast iron. Salt and pepper in fridge all night before cooking.

Best part about living in smaller Mexico during holiday....homemade Tamales from every street corner. Lady my wife works with makes the best spicy pork tamales ever.

Dude, I've been craving tamales for a week. And I really don't want to make them myself.

Just put a batch of chili con carne in the pressure cooker.
