Which cuts of beef make the most tender steak?
user
I would recommend using medium-rare beef that’s from the rib or the chuck.  How do you like your steak cooked?
assistant
Can you rank the cuts of steak by their quality?
user
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.

Would a steak from the cow's loin be more tender than one from the rib?
user
Yes, that is correct.  Here are some statistics on tenderness:

Steak:   Price      Tenderness

Top loin  $14.99   1.2

Rib steak  $8.99    1.6

Round steak $7.99    1.8

Sirloin  $12.99   1.7

Chuck  $5.99    2.0

That's great.  Do I have to cook different types of steak differently?
user
No, as long as you are using the correct cooking technique you can cook a variety of different types of beef the same way.

Yes, if you’re looking for tender results, you should generally be using lower temperatures and longer cooking times.
