Which cuts of beef make the most tender steak?

I would recommend using medium-rare beef that’s from the rib or the chuck.  How do you like your steak cooked?

Can you rank the cuts of steak by their quality?

I will need to know the definition of "quality" that you’re using, but I’ll assume that you mean “food quality.”  As you are likely aware, the tenderness of a steak is very much affected by its quality and you can safely assume that the tenderness of a less expensive cut of beef will be less than that of a more expensive cut of beef.

That's great.  Do I have to cook different types of steak differently?
