One of the things we love is steak, but as you are well aware steaks can get pricey. I was at the butcher counter the other day talking with our butcher and he shared with me a tip to cutting down my steak costs. We eat ribeye steaks alot, it is our favorite cut. There is a part of the “eye” that is between the rib and the chuck and it is called chuck-eye roast. It is basically a ribeye, but it is about half the price. You won’t see a lot of cuts of this, but when you do it will run under $2/lb! Ribeye normally runs around $8.99.lb and I can get it on sale for around $5.99/lb.
Alternate names for the chuck eye roast include: boneless chuck fillet, boneless chuck roll, chuck tender, and scotch tender.
Ribeye Cuts — $5.99/lb on sale
Chuck-Eye Cuts — $1.99/lb everyday
So, what are your meat purchasing secrets? Do tell!

I have never heard of this cut, do you think I can ask the butcher for it at my local grocer?
Stephanie – Definitely. Just ask him for Chuck-Eye, but you should see it right beside the ribeye.
so do you then cut steaks from it, at a thickness of your choice?
