I love a T-bone and that it is a chunk of meat. Means cooking you can really play with it. American Tbones have a little extra meat than British cut ones. I'd always recommend keeping the top cap of fat on the sirloin and firing the hell out of it. Hell a couple of time's I've had them so hot the fat cap has set alight. Beautiful! 3 mins a side, 6 mins rest with some dalmatian seasoning. B E A Utiful!
The cut is the same, the difference is, as noted by Harry Soo, American livestock is generally bigger than European breeds. It is fact not speculation, records show that within 3 generations of establishing the Americas the Colonists were on average 30Lb heavier and 3" taller then their European ancestors. The livestock was also proportianately bigger. More space, more feed, more room = more yummy meat (usually).

They might be bigger, but British Beef is still the best in the world.
