Steak - Ribeye or Sirloin?

Which really tastes better?
Which one tends to have more meat?
Help me decide in the battle of the Steaks :smile:

Sirloin. :coma:

God, a nice medium-rare sirloin steak...

I find they taste a bit better then ribeye, too. And likewise more meat.

Yeah, it'd be sirloin for me. :wink:

Ribeye, although a very good sirloin can be more enjoyable than am average ribeye.

Sirlion (Medium-rare) is my favourite, Michael's Tavern in Cyrpus had the best one ever! although in Sardinia there was a small restaurant called Ristorante Rafel outside of Alghero that could challege MT's :eek: I have to go back and taste it again before I make the final decision :wink:

this.
when i worked as a butcher and someone came to ask the best kind of steak wed offer fillet, then ribeye then sirloin then rump. as we didnt sell t-bone.

but it depends what you can afford, as the better the steak obv the more it will cost...

if i were to eat one id choose ribeye. thats my summer task... iv already tried sirloin...
Ribeye for me...

Fillet > Rib eye > Rump > Sirloin

Depends how you like it cooked.

A rare rib eye isnt very good as it doesnt give the fat in the middle a chance to break down.

A sirloin is nice cooked rare, however anything more than medium it starts to go dry as there is minimal fat through the steak.

The upper and middle back is the best cut :coma:

A nice blue sirloin steak and I'm happy.

A rib-eye is a cheaper cut though, so you're likely to get more of it, I find.

Youre aware that a t-bone is mostly sirloin right? So how can a t-bone be better than a rib eye if a rib eye is better than a sirloin?

Because of the bone. The bone gives the meat loads of flavour, like a kind of beef stock in the meat.
This is one of the drawbacks of being Indian- I will never be able to contribute constructively to this thread.
I know this is a stupid question, but what is "meat"? It's not muscle, and it's not fat... WHAT IS IT
