Poor Mans Ribeye


http://thumbnails110.imagebam.com/33...2330637988.jpg

Jambalaya for dinner tonight... half scratch, half box.

2 boxes Zatarains mix with one each red, green, yellow and red pepper, 2 small onion, 5 large celery sticks sauteed with garlic.

Then, 1 pound chicken breast and beef polska sausage browned together with extra paprika, then added two cans of tomato sauce towards the end, just to brown the tomato sauce a bit to bring out the sugars.

Add the water, stir, wait until 3/4 done then add 1 pound of shrimp... all done with almost no oil, plenty of fat in the beef sausage.

This shits gonna ROCK.

rock your anus

How'd it turn-out?

Just wonderful... Tastes just like the Ribeye just 3 bucks cheaper a lb

Told ya... Rep....

what is that?

Guessing a chuck eye steak. And to say it's a poor man's ribeye is fairly accurate. It's got decent enough flavor, but can be pretty tough.

I still prefer ribeye.

Well, to be fair, a part of the ribeye runs through it. But yeah, if you have the coin there's no risk in a ribeye, but if you're feeding tons of people, or people you don't really like all that much, it's perfect.

I've actually fed both ribeye and chuckeye to "the neighbors", and they can't tell the difference. They LOVE both (equally), and with the saved money, it allows you to more-quickly jump from a hamburger outing with the neighbors to one where you might server steak...

Oh yea, I have been eating these for years... They used to be real cheap but I think people have caught on :shake:

It's the first cut of the whole ribeye (chuck eye steak)

To the rest of you people , Do not confuse chuck steak with chuck eye steak... Chuck steak is shoe leather on a grill

This is true. It's like how "way back when" ribs and brisket were junk meat, nowadays they are anything but priced like it...

But chuckeye is still usually a LOT less expensive than ribeye.

Not dissing the ribeye, but when you're feeding 15 hungry folks (mostly slobering guys!!!), ribeye can break the bank..

I call it my weekday steak..

FMB is right, if you cook this steak past medium it will get tough but I never cook a steak past MR
