Re: Chuck Eye Steak (vs. Ribeye Steak)

I've mentioned in the past how nice a chuck eye steak is.  It's cut from the part of the shoulder of the cow pretty much right next to the ribs where the ribeye comes from.  Nicely marbled, very tasty.  And it costs a heck of a lot less than a ribeye steak.
 I went to Publix Supermarket after work today to pick up a few things. Just for fun I went to the meat aisle.  I found the only (last?) package of chuck eye steaks.  Two steaks, nicely marbled, each close to 2 inches thick.  I cut them into smaller servings and wrapped them.
 If you look up the original Delmonico's Restaurant in NYC, some say the Delmonico steak they served was chuck eye steaks.  No one really knows for sure.  According to Wikipedia:
 "In the mid 19th century it was Delmonico’s practice to serve whatever the butcher thought was best that night as its "Delmonico" steak.[3] It was accompanied by Delmonico potatoes, a serving of mashed potatoes topped with grated cheese and buttered breadcrumbs and baked until browned.  A Delmonico steak is often considered to be cut from the first 3" of the chuck eye."
 All I know is chuck eye steaks are delicious.  And they still cost a heck of a lot less than single ribeye.  The two chuck eye steaks I bought today cost $15.  That equates to $10.79/per pound.  The same price for a single ribeye is $16.99/lb. and that's the "sale price". Trust me, chuck eye steaks taste just as good and are worth looking for if you like steak.

Indeed. A chuck eye steak from publix is the finest food in the universe for your royal Majesty.  And, a single steak will feed your Highness for several months!
