  • In a bowl, add ginger beer, tamari, lemongrass, garlic, lemon juice and zest, brown sugar, fish sauce and half of beef broth. Place chuck roast in a one gallon zippered bag and pour marinade over top. Let sit for at least 4 hours (up to overnight).
  • Set smoker to 250degF. Remove roast from bag (reserve all marinade). Place directly on the grill of smoker. Smoke for two hours then flip and smoke another 2 hours.
  • In a 13x9 disposable foil pan, add reserved marinade and remaining beef broth. Remove roast from smoker and place in pan. Cover with foil. Increase heat on smoker to 300degF. Cook for 4 hours more.
  • Add all ingredients for cucumber salad to a bowl and toss to coat evenly. Cover and place in refrigerator until ready to serve.
  • In the last 15 minutes of cook time for the roast, add ingredients for rice to a sauce pan over medium-high heat. Cover with lid and cook for 15 minutes. Remove from heat but do not remove lid until ready to serve.
  • Remove roast from smoker and let sit for 5 minutes before removing roast to a bowl. Meat should be tender enough to break apart with a fork or pair of tongs. Ladle roughly a cup of the cooking liquid into the meat and stir to add some more moisture.
  • In a shallow bowl, add portion of rice, portion of cucumber salad and portion of beef.
