Some say Kobe beef, some say Angus, some say something else. Best is a relative term... it depends on what YOU prefer in beef.

1 top sirloin steak

MUSTARD TOPPED SIRLOIN STEAK

1 tbsp. Dijon mustard
1 tbsp. prepared white horseradish, drained
1 garlic clove, crushed
1 (about 2 lb.) boneless beef sirloin steak, 1 1/2 inch thick

Preheat broiler. Mix Dijon mustard, garlic, and white horseradish. Place steak on rack in broiler pan nearest the hottest point. Broil steak for 10-12 minutes for medium rare or until desired doneness is reached. Turn the steak once. Spread the Dijon mixture over the steak and broil about 1-2 minutes until golden brown

They say the best meat comes from wagyu cattle but it's expensive and you probably wont find it around too often. If it were up to me though I would go with a good grass fed sirloin and throw it on a charcoal grill for a bit depending on thickness. taking it off medium rare probably.

fillet is the ONLY steak! with a short cooking time on extremely hot charcoal

Kobe by far, but it's extremely expensive. So regular black angus will do. And best cut, Ribeye or Tbone, most people say. Here is the best way to cook it. It has a 5 star rating and 291 votes. So you decide.

Ingredients
1 boneless rib eye steak, 1 1/2-inch thick
Canola oil to coat
Kosher salt and ground black pepper
Directions
Place 10 to 12-inch cast iron skillet in oven and heat oven to 500 degrees. Bring steak(s) to room temperature.

When oven reaches temperature, remove pan and place on range over high heat. Coat steak lightly with oil and season both sides with a generous pinch of salt. Grind on black pepper to taste.

Immediately place steak in the middle of hot, dry pan. Cook 30 seconds without moving. Turn with tongs and cook another 30 seconds, then put the pan straight into the oven for 2 minutes. Flip steak and cook for another 2 minutes. (This time is for medium rare steaks. If you prefer medium, add a minute to both of the oven turns.)

Remove steak from pan, cover loosely with foil, and rest for 2 minutes. Serve whole or slice thin and fan onto plate.

Breed is relatively unimportant, could be Angus, Hereford, any bovine bred to be a meat animal. What is important is grain fed, good treatment, well exercised & plenty of water & trace minerals. Best cut is up to the consumer, I prefer Ribeye. Over real charcoal rare to medium, salt pepper & a little garlic.
