sirloin
According to the EU, it's sirloin... I don't know how reliable this is, though. City Gross seem to use the same word, but that's probably not reliable at all!

: If it's a U.K. English term you need, "sirloin" is indeed correct. It would be incorrect in the U.S.

Lene Johansen
: I have yet to see any American butcher use short loin, and I am "above average interested in food" as a local chef pointed out. Sirloin is the common term in the U.S. as well.

Compare the images at the two links and note the description at number 8 on the Swedish one:
"8. Biffen
En mycket saftig och användbar bit. Steks eller grillas.
Kallas också biffstock som hel."
Although one is a moose and the other a cow, the cut is the same. Note also that Google search results for "short loin" are at http://tinyurl.com/95fk72v.

There's a good diagram depicting the respective positions of the short loin and sirloin at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Short_loin. A T-bone steak is cut from the short loin, as indicated in my second Reference link above. In other words, a T-bone is cut from the short loin, while the sirloin is the next part toward the back end of the animal after the short loin. A sirloin steak (sometimes just "sirloin") is cut from this part.

Well, thanks to jonashbourne, I've learned (learnt) something today! This is indeed a UK/US difference: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sirloin_steak.
