Why do I keep buying ribeyes when ...

[Silock]

the KC Strip is simply a better tasting cut of meat?

I mean, I'm still going to eat them, but the strip is just better every single time I make it.

I'd like something that's close to ribeye but more affordable.


And if I'm voting...ribeye over strip steak all day for me.

Chuck Eye Steaks

Usually Half the price of Ribeyes but damn near as tender

[BigMeatballDave]

Yeah, Chuckeye is pretty good.

I just don't want anyone to expect one thing and get something else... I do like the chuck eye cut, though. If I want steak and don't want to spend much money, I'll almost always buy a chuck eye.

Gahhh, you're such a purist... for almost half the price, chuckeye IS close to the same quality when you balance out cost vs tenderness/texture, cook them right and its close enough.

Look at the pic R8ers posted, thats nice marbling, almost indistinguishable from a ribeye... and damn, wish my grocer cut them like that, those are some fatties.

Every time I read this thread title, I see it as "Why do I keep burning ribeyes when ..."

No, no. Pibb Extra is the natural pairing with filet and other red meats. The fruity taste of the peppery drinks matches well with the dense flavor of the red meats.

In contrast, the classic coke and pepsi products are best with pork dishes and the occasional dense, strongly flavored fish such as mahi mahi. Lighter fish pairs well with Sierra Mists and Sprites.

I quit drinking soda/pop about a year ago. Food tastes so much better after you quit flooding your system with that crap.

I did it a few years ago for about a year until a long period of traveling put me back on the stuff and after a few weeks I was back to using quite a bit more smoke, seasonings, and salt instead of being able to enjoy more of the natural flavor. If I could go ahead and quit the Gatorade this time around I think it would get even better.

Just keep in mind it's a chuck eye steak and not a chuck steak

Big Difference

Can't help but think of Tommy Boy reading this thread.




Tommy: Hey, I’ll tell you what. You can get a good look at a butcher’s ass by sticking your head up there. But, wouldn’t you rather to take his word for it?

Mr. Brady, Customer: What? I’m failing to make the connection here.

Tommy: No, I mean is, you can get a good look at a T-bone by sticking your head up a butcher’s ass… No, wait. It’s gotta be your bull.

Richard: Wow.

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!!

If you want cheap ribeyes just buy rib roasts that will be going on sale for the holidays. You typically see those for $6 per pound and that is for choice meat so just buy that, cut your own steaks out, and freeze them.

The strip is good, but it's dry.

A properly grilled ribeye is better every day of the week.

Still...I enjoy the variety afforded by a T-Bone.

You just can't beat them for the price...
