thank you

when you cook it will it be tender or a little tough? What can I use to make it not so tough and dry

I use a meat tenderizer and beef broth. I also cook the meat on low oven heat covered with foil or a tight fitting lid to give it time to cook longer and get tender enough to serve.

I grew up eating this cut of meat. It all depends on how you prepare it for it to be tender and not dry. We usually marinated ours overnight and then cooked it on the grill, adding butter to each side when flipped. To me this is one of the most flavorful cuts of steak.

i've never, ever needed to marinate this cut for tenderness. it cooks up beautifully every time unless you try to rush it.

I wonder if this is the same cut of meat that my mother used to buy that was tied in string

One of the best cuts of meat to grill. cook med rare,low and slow.you need a good butcher to supply you with good tender steaks

Try marinading the Chuck-eye steak in a marinade made up of Teriyake Marinade mixed with Worchester sauce and Itialian dressing. Add spices to taste and sprinkle with meat tenderizer. It will fall apart in your mouth!

I roast mine in a dutch oven with the lid on at 325 degrees. There is no need to marinate it unless you want extra flavor. Too reduce the amount of fat, cut off as much as you can. I salt it and add quartered onions. Use a meat thermometer or just test it for doneness. I look the roasting time in my cookbook.

For faster roasting, cut the meat in chunks. You can remove more fat that way. There is still enough marbeling to keep the flavor. The roast is not tough.

For gravy, remove the meat from the pan and add a cup or two of water. Scrape the bottom of the pan for the bits which makes the gravy more flavorful. Then pour it in a pan, add flour, and Kitchen bouquet for a darker color. I use a beef base for extra flavor. Tones is the absolute best brand I have ever found and is only available at Sam's Club. (I called Tones to see if it was availabe at other stores.)

You may also prepare it in a crock pot.
