Turned out decent. I boiled a food saver bag full of pulled pork and mixed in some beans to serve as a side dish. First time I've had frozen food saver pulled pork. It was amazing. Tasted as good as the day I smoked it. Maybe better.

I've never grilled a chuck-eye. I just never thought it'd be tender enough to cook on the Performer. Did you have to cook it indirect? I'm guessing you would to get it tender enough to eat. Then maybe give it the reverse sear treatment...?

Actually I sear it and grill it medium just like any steak. I really like it and I wouldn't call it tough but it's not as tender as a ribeye or other normal cuts.

Chuck eye steak is also my favorite steak behind bone-in ribeye, especially when our local store puts em on sale at $5.99/lb. I like to dry brine and reverse sear mine, this has become my preferred steak cooking method.

Those do look larger than the chuck eyes I usually cook.

Chuck eyes are basically the piece of beef next to the last ribeye. Similar flavor and texture, they just don't hold together in one piece like a ribeye in my experience - the different muscle separate during cooking.

Essentially you're getting a ribeye steak for half price.
