A Pot Roast generally refers more to the type of preparation of the meat rather than where the meat came from on the animal. While the cut of meat certainly can impact the texture and flavor of the pot roast, because of the slow cooking time generally applied to a pot roast, many different cuts are successful with this dish. Pot roast is typically obtained from the shoulder area of the cow. Other tough cuts such as chuck steak and boneless chuck roast also come from this area

∙ 14y agoThe simple answer is - the tough and chewy parts.
The stewing process is a long slow cooking at low temperatures, which tenderizes the meat and gelatanizes collagen. Although stewing beef can come from anywhere on the cow, it is usually cut from the Chuck or Round (these two are the best) it can also come from the Shank (leg), Neck, Clod (shoulder) or Plate (underbelly) sections.
Given this source (poorer cuts) you may wonder why stewing beef costs more than other cuts for an equivalent weight. Basically it's to pay for the butcher's time to trim off the gristle and fat and collect the good bits. It is often cheaper to buy a chuck raost and cube it yourself.
