Maybe using too lean of a cut?

Maybe. But they always say that the basic chuck cut will do, and I assumed they’re all about the same leanness.

The marbling can vary drastically so it's worth it to take your time when you're looking in the meat section. I made BB on Christmas and got really lucky that the only roast big enough had very nice marbling.

Yeah I think that was my problem. I assumed all chuck is the same and it would all get tender given enough time, regardless of marbling.
