Chuck Eye Steak | 100% Fullblood Wagyu & Fullblood Reserve
$38.00
100% Fullblood Wagyu Chuck Eye Steak
Known to master butchers as the ultimate insider’s cut, the Chuck Eye steak sits directly adjacent to the ribeye at the 5th rib. Because it shares the exact same primary muscles as the ribeye—including the coveted, buttery spinalis dorsi cap—it delivers identical steakhouse richness, deep marbling, and robust flavor at an exceptional value. When sourced from our registered 100% Fullblood Wagyu cattle, this cut reaches a whole new level of luxury, rivaling the finest center-cut ribeyes in both tenderness and umami depth.
Laced with gossamer veins of pure Japanese marbling that melt at gentle heat, every bite coats the palate in rich, savory tallow without a trace of toughness.
Choose Your Marbling Tier
-
100% Fullblood (BMS 6–8): Comfortably surpassing traditional USDA Prime, this tier showcases radiant webs of pure Wagyu fat woven through a tender, juicy grain. It delivers a decadent, melt-in-your-mouth bite while maintaining the classic steakhouse substance and beefy structure that carnivores love.
-
Fullblood Reserve (BMS 9–12): Our rarest, highest-echelon tier on par with authentic Japanese A5 standards. Spiderwebs of delicate, ultra-fine marbling disperse evenly through every fiber. At this level, the fat begins to render at room temperature, producing a transcendent, fork-tender steak that dissolves effortlessly across the tongue with a sweet, lingering finish.
The Chuck Eye Secret & The Fullblood Advantage
-
The "Butcher’s Secret Ribeye": Only two true chuck eye steaks exist per animal. Because they are carved from the transition point between the chuck and the rib primal, they boast the same luscious fat cap and tender eye muscle as a classic ribeye.
-
100% Uncompromised Japanese Bloodlines: Free from outside crossbreeding, preserving centuries of closed genetic selection. This results in extraordinarily high concentrations of oleic acid (healthy monounsaturated fats) that melt at roughly 75°F to 80°F.
-
Nutty Umami Aroma: As the fat renders in the skillet, it releases a distinct, sweet, and buttery aroma unique to purebred Wagyu beef.

Chef’s Searing Guide
Because 100% Fullblood Wagyu fat renders so efficiently, a quick cast iron sear yields the best crust while protecting the tender center.
-
Slow Thaw & Temper: Thaw completely in the refrigerator over 24 hours. Set on the counter for 20 minutes before cooking to remove the chill.
-
Season Lightly: Pat completely dry with paper towels. Season with coarse sea salt or G5 SPG right before cooking—pure Fullblood needs minimal seasoning to let its natural sweetness shine.
-
High-Heat Sear: Heat a heavy cast iron skillet over medium-high heat until smoking. Add a half-spoonful of G5 Wagyu Beef Tallow (or simply glide a trimmed edge of the steak's outer fat across the hot pan to grease the surface).
-
Quick Cook: Sear for 2 to 2.5 minutes per side until a deep, caramelized mahogany crust develops. Pull the steak when the internal temperature hits 130°F–135°F for medium-rare.
-
Rest & Carve: Rest on a warm cutting board for 5 minutes to let the juices settle. Carve across the grain into pencil-thick slices and serve immediately.
