Quoted message said:

French may be boef de roi or boef de
roti. It sounds like something that one gets from the local butcher
not the local supermarket.

The term is "Rôti de boeuf" and if you can read French, these may help.

If you can't read it, cut and paste the text here

select "French to English" and make the best of it.

Finally, here's link to an English site with a French recipe for a Japanese
size Roast Beef (Rôti de boeuf)

That looks like a classic French cut to me just like I see in our local
supermarkets here in Lyon. Recipe is nothing special either.

When it comes to Raost Beef, us "rosbifs" have a lot to teach the French

Thank Morvin but that does not sound like the (somewhat garbbled)
description that I heard. It is just un rôti de boeuf and if my
informant knows what he's talking about, there seems to be some
strange kind of tenderizing that the butcher does to it.
Unfortunately he does not seem to know much about food preparation
nor much French.

My francophone informant who suggested boeuf de roti must be speaking
a weird joual or my spelling is really bad.

I thought that I mentioned before but see I didn't that it is a
braised roast cooked with vegetables.

That first link was interesing and funny. Thanks

If it is braised it isn't really roasted. To roast something you use dry
heat, and braising uses moist heat, like simmering in a liquid. That would
make it more of a pot roast than a pot. When properly cooked, a pot roast
is pretty tender, and they are usually cooked with vegetables.
