Dining on steak on a budget

My husband and I love our ribeye steaks. When asked to choose a steak, we will ideally choose a ribeye every time, medium rare. But ribeye steaks are definitely not something too friendly on our budget. A few years ago, the hubby came home with some chuck eye steaks and I was sold! Chuck eye steaks have a very similar taste to ribeyes but the cost per pound is a lot less. We usually can find them for around $6-7/lb versus $13-14/lb for ribeye steaks.

Since they can usually only cut two chuck eye steaks from a cow, you may not find many on the beef shelf at the grocery store. I remember inviting a group of friends one Sunday and planning to grill some chuck eye steaks and had to stop by two Publix stores to pick up the 6 steaks I needed.

We usually marinate ours in either Dales or with Worchestshire sauce and salt and pepper. Medium rare and … perfection at a discount price!
