What type of literary device is "dead in the eye"

It's slang, not really a literary device. "He hit the target dead center." "She was dead-on right!" "I looked you squarely in the eye" is a variation on the slang term "dead in the eye". I looked you square in the eye" is another variation. It means directly accurate.
