If they are the same why is one less expensive? Honest question.

It is not the same as a ribeye, a ribeye is a superior cut at a superior price but if you cut a quality bite from a chuck eye and cut a bite from a ribeye, you won't be able to tell the difference...

The ribeye is a prettier steak and marbled in the right places, a Chuckeye has more fat and tends to fall apart more on the grill as opposed to a ribeye that stays as one solid piece of steak...

I had/have the same question too... I'm not sure about the economics of the deal, but I've been known to be pretty critical of meat and I know that certain cows taste better than others. In this case, perhaps, I got a great cow but I doubt it.

Perhaps those dotted-line charts/boarders on cow drawings aren't as important as those on maps of earth (in many ways). So maybe what I got was a rib eye but labeled a chuck eye because the guy drawing the line was this guy:

Like I say, just try it (unless it's your last supper on the way to your execution).

It's like I've said before the debate is never ending about store-bought brisket, and I happen to put Bryant's on top for the best (JMO!!), but I've had days where it wasn't all that great too (and is never better than mine (JMO)).



So just try it and trash me later if you don't like it.

This did almost happen, but there are tools that make that not happen. And, since we each "stand up" hibachi grill style (I cut all the meat on the rather large cutting board and we all stand and eat - don't ask me why, it's just more awesome than sitting!!), nobody has to cut their steak anyway.

It's all about what you like, I really like chuck eye steaks but maybe the high brow types won't ...

Good food + good friends = a great time

Well I tried the chuck eye cut last night, did nothing to if beyond the normal "Montreal Steak-in-Butter" that a grill all steaks with, and it was indeed awesome. Yes, there was a bit more fat to cut away, but it wasn't anything that 99% of humans on earth would notice as being different. I did a blind taste test with the neighbor, and he thought it was rib eye. He's an accountant and, well, "frugal" - so he's sold forever. I'll say this, next time I entertain a larger group this will be what I serve as long as I get to be selective on the individual steaks as I suspect as the cut gets farther from the rib cuts the marbling might change dramatically.

But on balance, it was AWESOME!!

They'll reply, "Have you won more around the 75th percentile of those fights?" If you reply with "yes", they will say, "follow me Sir, we have a great selection of Merlot this week." If you reply with "no" they'll point to the beer cooler and shelves of various forms of whiskey/tequila and tell you to toughen up a little...
