Preferred Roasts cooking methods.

[WeeHawky]

Low and slow in a crockpot?

Instant pot/pressure cooker?

Low and slow in the oven?

Smoker outside - low and slow ?

Cut it up and make steaks?

Dutch oven and braise with a red wine. Easy as hell and makes it 1000000X better.

Because OP asked about roasts, I took that literally to be a big chunk of meat.

Assuming you're buying your meat in a 'normal' grocery store (not a butcher shop or food services place), the Roasts are the larger pieces of meat you see. The meat will be denser/tougher, and the connective tissues will be larger/tougher. So any cooking process will need to be longer/lower to let the entire thing get up to temp and start breaking down those tougher things. Typically you want to 'sear' the outside of this kind of meat, so you can add a bit of flavor for the gravy that will cook out and also to seal the outside into a skin... keeping more moisture inside. Roasting meat can take hours, if the piece is large enough... or the meat is tough enough.

Now on the topic of 'soaking' meats in various sauces prior to cooking... Feh, I say to that. Especially if you're using normal beef, the sauce can barely get into the meat over the 12+ hours it was soaking. Again, the meat needs to be broken down (via heat) to open it up. So salt to help speed that process up, and pepper will add some depth to the gravy.

Steaks are completely different. First thing you'll notice is the price goes up noticeably. This is because actual 'steak' is kinda rare on a cow. The muscle needs to have small amounts of connective tissue, if at all. And the muscle needs to have 'fat' marbled throughout it, evenly... kinda like when they put cheese in brats. Then the amount of the fat will determine what cut it is: ribeyes are fatty, ny strips are in the middle, filet are most lean and usually most expensive.

With inflation so high, it's impossible to afford steak.

Smoker outside.
