We had both. If it was a rib or loin it was roast beef. If was a lesser cut it was pot roast. I always liked the pot roast best, but then my family never had prime rib or filet.
Growing up, my family only made roast beef. My wifes family only does pot roast, I asked around and oddly enough it seems that families either eat one or the other. I like pot roast but never had it until after I got married, the opposite is true for my wife.
So what is you family? Pot roast or roast beef?
We ate both growing up. I was a kid in the 1960's, before beef was deemed evil and before boneless chicken breasts were in wide use.
Roast beef growing up, pot roast now. Chuck roast, slow cooker for 10 hours with a can of golden mushroom soup, add potatoes, carrots, sliced mushrooms 3 hours before dinner. Easy, yummy!
some roasts we call pot roasts and some roasts we call oven roasts,,,,
pot roasts are
chuck roasts, bottom round roasts
oven roasts (dry cooking heat)
rib roast (a k a prime rib)
sirloin or round tip roast (from the knuckle)
top round roast
sirloin strip roast
top butt sirloin roast (also known as a spoon roast)
eye round roast
a bottom round back rump roast can swing both ways,,,as an oven roast or pot roast
one of my first girlfriends mother use to call any roast cooked in the oven a roast beef
and any roast cooked in a pot,,a pot roast
as a cook,,you can cook them any way you wish,,,i love the slow cookers/crock pots,,,no matter if its an oven roast or (especially) a chuck roast,,,these are great
however,,i would not cook any very expensive roast in a slow cooker,,,like a prime rib or tenderloin
