There is a pretty good argument to be made that, if you're going to go out and pay someone $30 for a steak, you might as well pay them $35 and get the good one.

Which one would be the good one compared to a fillet?
By my reckoning, the filet is the best tasting cut of beef. My thoughts:
Filet - tenderest, best flavor. Almost always much more expensive than I want to pay and too small.
Ribeye - Best flavor/size/price-point combo. It's not the cheapest, but it's almost as good as a filet, but bigger and cheaper.
Strip - Sometimes really good if it's thick, usually priced above the ribeye and when it's cheaper it's usually because it's tough.
T-bone - Maybe I've never had a really good one, but it seems like a poor-man's porter house. Often cut very thin.
Porter House - More beef than I should eat at one sitting. Great because it includes both a filet *and* a NY strip in the same steak. $$$
Prime Rib - I don't think of it as a steak, more like a good cut of "roast beef".
So the filet when someone else is buying and I don't care about making them pay more, otherwise, it's almost always the ribeye.
