Answers:
RIb eye is obvious - it has a bone in the middle!.

Sirloin and rump can look similar - but rump tends to have more fat - around the edge, and throught the middle (and has a more flavour for it, but is less tender)

Tbone is pretty obvious too -- it looks like a massive (and delicious) chop!.

Fillet tends to have no fat, usually just a huge chunk of mouth melting meat!.

Minute steak is beaten thin, cooks quick and is lovely in a juicy french bread steakwich!.

If the steak comes in souce, poor restaurants often pass off rump as sirloin!Www@FoodAQ@Com

I see no one gets your question!. Shape is the most important thing!. The best way is to go to the supermarket, and note the characteristics!. For instance, oblong, thick and heavily marbled (fat veins you can see even after cooking = Ribeye Delmonico!. also, look for the shape of the bone vs!. shape of steak = T-Bone or Porterhouse!. Very small, yet very thick = Most likely a Filet Mignon!. Sirloins are the toughest to recognize, since now sometimes they cut them thick and small to fool the consumer into thinking they're getting a filet!. Boston or New York Strip Steaks will almost always be elongated with a moderately thick ribbon of fat along one side!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

cut the middle of the bottom of the steak with a knife(so the people dont see the opening) and if the steak has juice coming out or is really pink then it is not cooked!. so if it is light pink then its just right lol!. but remember you have to keep the customer happy and give it to them the way they ordered!.

rare= really pink
medium rare= light pink
rare=all- over brown

PS- always make sure to look in the middle because the middle takes a longer time to cook than the sides cause there is more meat!.
Hope this helps :) good luck!Www@FoodAQ@Com

one way is to put your pointer finger to your thumb then touch the top of the back of your hand next to your thumb nuckle and then touch the steak if it feels the same way on both it is rare!. continue with your middle finger and so onWww@FoodAQ@Com

There is no point when the steak is cooked, it's all down to the persons personal choice!. Some people like it just brown on the outside and bloody on the inside!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Rib eye has a bone in the middle, rump is large with little marbling (Fat going through the joint) and sirloin is long with prominent marblingWww@FoodAQ@Com

They really should have taught you this in your training!.
