    Meet the Four

    Same Black Onyx family. Completely different steak personalities.

    The First Bite

    Rump

    Big flavour. Smart spend.
    Tenderness Tender
    Flavour Bold & beefy
    Richness Medium
    Best For BBQ & weeknights
    Pick Rump if you want Black Onyx flavour without starting at the richest end.
    The All-Rounder

    Sirloin

    Tender. Beefy. Balanced.
    Tenderness Very tender
    Flavour Clean & beefy
    Richness Medium
    Best For Almost everything
    The easiest first recommendation when you want tenderness and flavour in equal measure.
    The Indulgence

    Rib Fillet

    Juicy. Marbled. Luxurious.
    Tenderness Very tender
    Flavour Deep & savoury
    Richness High
    Best For Premium steak night
    Pick Rib Fillet when juicy marbling matters more than keeping things lean.
    The Centrepiece

    Tomahawk

    Big steak. Bigger entrance.
    Tenderness Very tender
    Flavour Rich rib flavour
    Richness High
    Best For Sharing & celebrations
    Pick Tomahawk when the steak itself needs to be part of the occasion.
    BUTCHER'S PICK

    First Black Onyx order? Go Sirloin. It sits right in the sweet spot: tender enough to feel premium, beefy enough to taste distinctly Angus and rich without becoming overwhelming.

    Cook the Cut, Not the Ego

    Keep it simple. Each steak only needs the method that suits it.

    Rump Hot BBQ or cast iron. Fast and direct.
    Sirloin Render the fat edge, then sear.
    Rib Fillet Grill hard or reverse sear thicker steaks.
    Tomahawk Low first, hard sear last. Give it time.

    Quick Answers

    Black Onyx FAQs

    Which Black Onyx cut is best for a first-time buyer?

    Sirloin is the easiest all-round choice. It balances tenderness, Angus flavour and marbling without being as rich as Rib Fillet.

    Which cut has the strongest beef flavour?

    Rump is the pick when bold, traditional beef flavour matters most.

    Which Black Onyx cut is the richest?

    Rib Fillet and Tomahawk bring the richest experience because both come from the rib section and carry generous marbling.

    Is Tomahawk worth buying for two people?

    Yes, when you want a shared centrepiece rather than two individual steaks. Its size and bone make it particularly suited to celebrations and BBQ entertaining.

    What marble score are the steaks in this guide?

    This comparison focuses on the Black Onyx SB 5 versions of Rump, Sirloin, Rib Fillet and Tomahawk.
