Fancy name for Roast Beef.

Knowing how everyone loves photos, check this out for a little info:

Steamship Round

Every time you take Mom to that Sunday buffet, that is what they are slicing.

I'm sure Carl and TopChef can tell you more than you will ever want to know.

Ah! Okay, thanks Jim, Smokin', Tom.

I had a suspicion that's what it was. Might just have to track one down sometime... )

It's what round steak is sliced from, so is generally enormous. Think roast beef at Old Country Buffet, Banquet Table, etc. A more practical choice for most folks is to buy either a top round or bottom round roast - which is what you're actually getting at the buffet, depending on which side the guy's carving at the moment. Of course there's also an eye of round in there too, which you could buy separately, but that's sized more like a tenderloin and would roast a bit differently.

It's easy to make a passable imitation of Arby's sandwiches by brining a top round with a fair amount of black pepper, then roasting by the "Lady & Sons" method (blazing hot followed by turning oven off, leaving door closed for long time), cooling, slicing on a slicer, and reheating with a bit of au jus made from the drippings.

Probably would be much tastier done in the CS - hmm...a project for this weekend!

No, sorry, to approximate Arby's you'll have to get "pressed & processed" roast beef, not the real thing.

There hasn't been a good Roast Beef sandwich (at a chain) since Roy Roger's closed down.

The rest taste and feel more like Trigger IMHO.
