Is it ok to use chuck steak for a stir fry if it is sliced thinly? Or will it be really tough? TIA

could work if marinated long enough but would be more tougher than the better frying ones

I wouldn't. Unless you cooked it really really briefly on a searingly hot heat.

If you keep it really rare (and slice it across the grain), it will be chewy but edible (just), if you even cook it to medium, it will be like tough chewing gum. Could you put the chuck steak on now to slow cook and just do some stir fried vege to go with it ? That would give you a much nicer dish ... :-)

If you really wanted to use it, You could try the baking soda trick with it and see how that works (One of the many awesome tips I have picked up from here. )
If you have to use one of the toughercuts of beef, blade would probably be a bit better than chuck.

I use off cuts of shnitzell for stir fry and use the chuck for a casserole
