Hereford Chuck Eye Steak

H+J Cattle Company Hereford Chuck Eye Steak

Big flavor. Hidden gem. Unapologetically beefy.

Often called the “poor man’s ribeye,” the Hereford Chuck Eye Steak delivers surprisingly rich marbling, deep flavor, and juicy tenderness at a fraction of the cost. Cut from the upper shoulder, right next to the ribeye, this underrated steak punches well above its weight in both taste and texture.

At H+J Cattle Company, our Hereford cattle are pasture-raised and grain-finished the right way—no hormones, no shortcuts, just bold, honest beef raised on our family ranch.

Why you’ll love it:

• More flavor than a sirloin, more value than a ribeye
• Marbled just enough for tenderness and bite
• Great for grilling, cast iron, or slicing for tacos and stir fry

Cut weight: ~8–10 oz per steak (sold individually or in bundles)
