    Chuck Eye Steak can be surprisingly good. It's a really underrated cut. Reasonable tenderness a a good beef flavor.
    Nice looking cook.

    Interesting, new cut for me as well. Looks great!

    ”Also known as the "poor man's rib-eye," the chuck eye steak comes from the upper shoulder of the cow, the region butchers refer to as the chuck primal. Known for flavorful roasts, chuck cuts generally benefit from low-and-slow cooking methods.”

    I don't I've  ever seen that cut here. Chuck roasts are common. Are They related?

    Chuck eye steaks are just steaks cut from a chuck roast.

    That's not really true. The steak does come from the Chuck Roll, but a few inches of that Chuck Roll is located adjacent to the Rib Eye and that is why t is called a Chuck Eye. I used to buy Chuck Rolls at Restaurant Depot or Costco and trim out the Chuck Eye (3-4 inches of one part of the Roll). Then Wegman's opened here and they sell Chuck Eye Steaks and roasts at different times of the year (Summer is steaks, Winter is roasts).  In the Winter, I just cut the Chuck Eye roast into steaks and they are great.  Technically it is part of the Chuck section, but those few inches of meat do not taste like Chuck.

    By the way, this is sometimes referred to as a Delmonico Steak.
