MY NEW FAVORITE STEAK

Beef prices are through the roof. Here's the antidote for me & my fellow steak lovers.



If you find yourself reflexively gagging over $36 Angus ribeyes, here's a treat for you-- a DRY-AGED CHUCK EYE STEAK from PORTER ROAD, one of our favorite online meat purveyors. And if you've given our previous essay about Prime Rib a read, you'll appreciate its provenence--



If you'll recall, the Rib Primal constitutes ribs # 6-12. The Chuck Primal-- generally considered less desirable by connoisseurs-- nonetheless bears some qualitative similarities to its immediate southern neighbor... particularly along ribs # 3,4, & 5, which include the north end of the precious loin muscle that makes Prime Rib so desirable. It is this section that yields the Chuck Eye Steak, only six per steer. Add to the mix Porter Road's commitment to responsible ranching, throw in the dry-aging, and you've got a wonderful three-quarter pound steak for only nineteen bucks... and it's currently on sale-- 15% off!


If you've got the freezer space, I recommend loading up. I just ordered 8, which put me just over the threshold for cheap ($15) shipping.


Happy Grilling!

I think this cut is also called "Poor man's New York strip steak" and is one of the best kept secrets in the butcher shop. Love it!
