Ribeye is less tender compared to the Tenderloin but more tender compared to the Striploin. The Ribeye is also the most flavourful among the 3 cuts. 

Striploin is slightly less tender and less flavourful, compared to the Ribeye. But if you are looking for the beefy flavour in your steak, striploin is your best bet. 

Having said that, all 3 cuts make wonderful and delicious steaks!

T-Bone Steak & Porterhouse Steak

The main bone running in between the Tenderloin and Striploin muscles is the “T-Bone”. If the cut is made cross-wise, cutting through the bone, then you will get a T-Bone or Porterhouse steak (the latter cut from the back end where there is a larger portion of Tenderloin).

 In other words, a T-Bone steak is made up of a piece of Tenderloin and a piece of Striploin connected to each other by a bone.
