My latest steak/cuts are also on the cheap, but over the top flavor, for only $4.99 a pound.
Chuck Eye, more intense flavor and at 1/2 the price of rib eye.
I know several meat cutters by name, and they take good care of me.
Asking for a Chuck Eye Steak is like acknowledging membership in a secret society. You are greeted with a knowing smile, a nod of the head, and then just maybe two will emerge from some quiet corner. There are only a couple in each animal, and although they have a taste and tenderness of the more popular rib eye, the cost is considerably less. Please... only tell your favorite buddy.
