Steaks - grade vs cut

So, in general how does a prime grade sirloin match up against a select grade of a strip or ribeye? Outdoor grilling.

Curious as the former is on sale at HEB and wonder if that's worthwhile. I usually just hold out for choice/prime ribeyes and strips but the family wants steak this weekend.

my opinion: a prime sirloin isn't going to be as good as a choice ribeye.

If money not an object then obviously go with the Ribeye.

I often get Prime or "Natural" (HEB) Sirloins when I have a large crowd to feed. I have them cut 1.25" - 1.5" and grill them to barely past rare. Slice thin across the grain and you have some pretty good steak for the buck.

Yeah, I'd definitely go choice ribeye all day. But usually if prime of one steak is on sale, choice or prime of the others aren't available (at least pre-packaged). I typically load up when prime ribeyes go on sale but for now it's either this or the select ribeyes...which are noticeably worse than choice. Never had prime sirloin from HEB, but the select sirloin won't be a mistake I make again.

Bought a double prime pack of sirloin at the heb a few weeks back and froze it. Thawed, cooked and it was amazing.
