    Ribeye's tastier and juicier. Sirloin has the edge very very slightly on tenderness.

    Different cuts of the cow. Ribeye from near the ribs and Sirloin from the lower back (I think). I believe Sirloin will have less fat than Ribeye too (so the weight you get is more actual meat weight - winner!).

    Had a chateaubriand you would kill your mother for last night. Nom...

    Back on topic Ribeye for me just feels a lot juicer and tastier.

    Also gone for fillet when going out simply because I can never cook them right myself.

    Was once told by a steak chef when I asked for Rib-eye cooked rare (usually have my steaks a bit bloody) that Rib eye is one of the few steaks that should be served medium to well done. Took his advice and it was excellent. To me it has more taste than rump or sirloin.

    Tastiest is tough stuff like shin beef but only when cut up and braised for at least 3 hours. Fantastic when put into Steak and Kidney pies!

    What, no T-bone? I'm disappointed in you all. Fun fact, I was told at the Glass House in town that they'd stopped serving T-bone for 'health and safety' reasons :D

    My own personal findings are sear both then cook sirloin for 21/2 mins each side in butter sprinkled with salt, rib eye 2 3/4 mins each side. Put them in foil for 10 mins, game on.
