Best cut of beef for a small roast?

[Docke]

I love roast beef but never cook it at home because we’re a two-adult household and it’s hard to get a decent joint that’s suitable for a small number of servings.

I’m looking for suggestions of a cut that would serve 3-4 (leftovers!) but feel like a proper roast rather than just a big steak!

Please and thank you.

Well, best is something like this, but for something more affordable, go for sirloin.

I really like this:

I had never heard of salmon cut before but I tried it once and it was really decent meat and no gristly bits. Perfect for a small number of people and a few slices for leftovers.

Best would be fillet but more realistically sirloin.

If you want lovely leftovers I am a big fan of this brisket recipe - yes it says for 12 but I've never had a bit that big and the timings can be vague as you like, it's very forgiving.
