Can Boneless Beef Chuck Steak Be Grilled

Though growing in popularity, most people are still unaware of the deliciousness of a grilled chuck eye steak. They are just as tender and rich with beefy flavor as a rib-eye steak, but with beef prices on the rise, chuck steaks are a great choice for those on a budget.

What is a Chuck Eye Steak?

Chuck eye steaks are well-marbled beef steaks sourced from the shoulder region of the steer, also known as the chuck roast. The roast is cut into 1″-2″ thick chuck steaks and sold as individual pieces. If you'd like to explore the flavors even more, I recommend trying a dry-aged chuck eye steak.

Is Chuck Eye better than Rib-eye?

Chuck eye steaks are almost as tender and have the same delicious beefy flavor of rib-eye. This is a versatile cut that can be cooked in a cast iron skillet, on your grill or in a smoker. Chuck eye is often referred to as the poor man's rib-eye since it is a budget friendly option.

Seasoning and Grilling Steaks:

It takes just a few ingredients to yield amazing results. Sometimes, I use a simple salt and pepper rub; however, you can also use on of our favorite steak rubs on these grilled chuck eye steaks.

Hot and fast is the way to go with these steaks. Plan accordingly based on the thickness (I opt for a 1″ thick steak) and your preferred level of doneness. I recommend a medium-rare doneness for these steaks. Consult our steak temperature guide for more information.

Chuck eye steak is versatile and easy to cook in a cast-iron pan, a grill, or low and slow on a smoker. I recommend cooking these steaks over charcoal. However, your gas grill will work just fine in a pinch!

Ingredients for this recipe:

• 2 chuck eye steaks about 1″ thick and 1 1/2 pounds total
• Kosher salt
• Black pepper, medium ground
• Onion powder (sub with garlic powder if preferred)

Making grilled chuck eye steaks:

• First, you'll need two chuck eye steaks, about 1″ thick.
• Coarse salt and medium ground fresh ground pepper. Once seasoned, let the meat stand at room temp for at least 20 minutes before grilling.
• A charcoal or gas grill. Cook over high heat 3-4 minutes per side. See recipe for details.
• A cast-iron pan is optional. Get the pan screaming hot, add 2 teaspoons oil or a pat of butter, then add your steaks. Cook 3-4 minutes per side, turn and repeat the process until you've reached your desired doneness and a nice outer crust forms. Learn more about how to cook a steak in a cast-iron pan.
• After cooking, remove chuck eye steaks from heat and let them rest for 5-7 minutes.
• Make a quick and easy board dressing to toss your chopped steak in before serving. Trust me; it's divine! Board dressings consist of oil, seasonings, herbs of choice, and a savory element like raw or roasted garlic.
• Use a compound butter instead of using a board dressing.
• A good instant-read thermometer.

Serve these steaks with one of our Grilled or Smoked Vegetable Sides, or slice and serve in tacos, salads, or lettuce wraps.

• 2 chuck eye steaks about 1″ thick and 1 1/2 pounds total
• 1 1/4 tablespoons kosher salt
• 1 tablespoon black pepper medium ground
• 1 teaspoon onion powder

• Preheat grill for high heat or 500 degrees F.

• Combine salt, black pepper, and onion powder in a small bowl. Season both sides of steak with seasonings. Let stand at room temperature for 20 minutes.

• Place chuck steaks on the grill, cook for 1 1/2-2 minutes, rotate 45 degrees, and cook for another 1 1/2-2 minutes. Flip steaks and repeat the process. Move off to a cooler part of the grill, and finish cooking. I recommend medium-rare to medium for these steaks with an internal temperature of between 135-140 degrees F.

• Once cooked through, remove steaks from the grill, and place them onto a clean cutting board. Rest for 5-7 minutes, slice, and serve.
