Chuck eye? Eye of the round? Not familiar with the cut at all.
Tried chuck eye for the first time today... holy crap it's good. Slow roast then a quick sear for soft, gooey connective tissue and crisp fat. I usually get ribeye, sirloin, or t-bones but now I've got a new favorite cut. And it was $3/lb on sale. I can't believe it's cheaper than the other parts.

Chuck eye is my go to steak as well as flat iron and tri-tip. All cheap cuts.
Make sure it's chuck eye and not just chuck steak.
Center cut chuck eye is great. Hard to tell the difference from a ribeye while eating it. They are always tender, fatty and juicy. A bone in ribeye is still my favorite cut of beef but at half the price chuck eyes are wonderful.
