I have never had a tough stew no matter the beef I use, chuck is fine, probably because I always use the slow cooker.
Toss cubed beef, a tin of tomato soup, water to level you want and a packet of dry french onion soup into the slow cooker and add whatever veggies you want along with herbs, put on lid and turn on. I like to set a loaf of bread in the breadmaker to finish at the same time as the stew is ready and we have dinner

Then you have to decide:

beef stew and wide egg noodles........or..........beef stew and rice.........or.........beef stew and mashed potatoes........or.......beef stew and dumplings............BUT........are the dumplings the drop dumplings or the slippery dumplings...........

Drop dumplings..(I really like biscuits from a tube, just pop them on top when simmering and let them steam...)..
