What's a good roast at a reasonable price to serve about 6 to 8 people?
I'm looking to make a roast I can carve for a holiday dinner, a little worried prime rib is too costly.
I love making tri tip into a roast. Best meat on the cow IMO and last time I bought it it was reasonably priced.

pork
I recommend strip roast. It's the best combination of tasty/beefy and juicy/tender, IMO.
It's a slightly harder-working muscle compared to tenderloin/prime rib roast, so it's got a beefier taste in comparison (though not as beefy and tasty as whatever you call the thigh muscle in English) but it's also tender enough that you can cook it to medium or even rare and have it still be soft, moist and delicious.
The usual price floats around $6.99/lb, but you can find it on sale for $4.99 or occasionally even less.

This as well, nothing beets a good pork roast with gravy, mashed spuds and peas or corn.

Now that you mention it, I don't think I've ever seen anyone cook up a pork roast with those tasty red bastards. Good catch, Anon.

Second this. In commiefornia the tri tip goes on sale for $3.99/lb untrimmed and $4.99/lb trimmed. Pork butt can go as low as $.99/lb
Both of these cuts can also be smoked/grilled.

Definitely go with pork
