The chuck eye steak comes from the upper shoulder of the cow which butchers in the region call the chuck primal. Known for their flavorful roast chuck cuts typically benefit from low-and-slow cooking methods. But because the chuck eye contains several inches of the tender longissimus dorsi muscle the key component of a rib-eye it can withstand the high-heat cooking methods more suited to steak.
Tender rib-eye steaks come from the sixth through twelfth ribs of a cow; butchers cut the chuck-eye steak from the fifth rib. This proximity means that the chuck-eye steak shares many of the characteristics of the rib-eye steak. While chuck-eye steaks aren't always available—there are only two per cow—they're usually a budget-friendly cut of meat if you can find them.
