Does anyone else prefer a New York strip or even a prime top sirloin over a ribeye?

When done right, a prime cut of sirloin medium rare is perfectly tender.

I know this will be down voted, but I'm just saying a prime top sirloin cut 1.5 inches > choice ribeye for much cheaper

I really like a sirloin, but if price (or health) is out the window I see no reason to choose one over a ribeye.

When I was in Atlanta I use to purchase beautiful aged sirloins at whole foods that were practically the size of chuck roasts. I would certainly take those over what most grocery stores sell for ribeye

I prefer a ribeye. But I do like a good sirloin. Sam’s usually has prime top sirloins for cheap that are really good.

Give me New York Strip all day if the quality is the same.

I generally prefer a NY strip over most grocery store ribeyes. The ribeyes at grocery stores around here are usually horrible quality. If I go to a butcher with some prime ribeyes, I prefer them over the NY strip.

Can't say the last time I even bought a sirloin.

Ribeye is king in my kitchen.

NY strip is an acceptable change of pace.

Ribeye is really the only steak I get a craving for. I’ll eat a strip or filet or skirt but don’t ever really “want” to cook them

I prefer strips for sous vide.

I prefer ribeye for either reverse sear or grill.

I prefer a strip with prime. Plenty fat for me. But I'll go with ribeye if the marbling isn't good enough in the strip options.

Whenever I see strips in the store (prime or choice) they always have that piece of gristle running down the side. If not for that stripe of gristle I'd eat them more often

Not gonna lie, the thick ribeyes from Costco might be the best cut you can get outside of a really good steakhouse

When it is first class prime I like the N.Y. strip, but it has to have good marbling. That is why the choice strips are usually too tough. With the lesser cuts I go with the filet or ribeye.

New York Strip about 1 1/4" thick is my favorite steak. Good beef flavor and not very fatty.

As mentioned above, a good prime NY strip cooked med rare (charred at Ruth Chris ) is my favorite, but any less quality or cooked more so is just a chewy mess, a rib eye is much more forgiving for less marbleing and even cooked to a higher internal temp,

A filet is a complete different meal and I enjoy those as well
