Sounds dinkum, Mate. (see that. Anyone can talk Aussie. )
By coincidence, I've just picked up a chuck roast. So I might give this a try.

Hi, Brook -
I was thinking about this yesterday as I posted it; with the relatively short cooking time, would chuck roast cook enough to be tender, or do you think this recipe is designed for something more akin to sirloin or round, which doesn't require long cooking to be tender?
I honestly don't know - maybe it depends on the size of the dice. With a chuck roast, I'd be tempted to let it simmer a little longer; or, perhaps, use leftover roast that has been cooked.

You're probably right, Ron. I didn't notice the short cooking time.
Ah, well. It's on the to-try list.

It sure looks delicious, in any case...we will probably give it a go this coming weekend, if all goes well.
