Notes
Use beef chuck roast for ideal marbling and tenderness
Check store-bought BBQ sauce for hidden alcohol; look for 'kosher for Passover' labels if avoiding alcohol
For deeper flavor, marinate the roast overnight in the rub and broth
Adjust serving portions based on household size
Leftovers store well in the fridge for 3-4 days
