Not every chuck roast will look like this. Only about the first 12” off the ribeye end of the chuck will have the telltale Denver marbling and distinctly shaped chuck eyes. But if you find one, look how versatile this chef is!
Thank you Chef Cary.
If you can learn how to recognize the chuck eye and the Denver steak, you’re in for some treats. The honeycomb marbled Denver steak is one the juiciest cuts of beef and makes a great steak. The chuck eye is simply a baby ribeye but it’s consistently more tender and juicy than most ribeyes. And the ground beef you get from the trim is versatile and you know exactly what it’s made of.
Here’s how to turn a $20 chuck roast into three meals that include two steak dinners.
