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?

Prime rib is definitely a different texture. I find it to be a little on the gummier side.



Yeah, if it's not cooked right. You need to get a good one. It's not on the menu, but the Outback does a prime rib with their own spices that's very good.

Only took me 30 years and dozens of bad cuts of steak to figure that out.

The fillet is the good one.

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.

Ribeye, when I buy one of the few steaks I eat a year to BBQ.

That's what I thought. I guess I read his post wrong. And Rho, I believe the prime rib is just the ribeye that's been roasted.
