Thanks for the recommendation. Diced pancetta is readily available here, but I'd have to chop up the beef myself; which cut did you use?

Recipe calls for skirt steak or chuck. I used chuck. Skirt steak would probably taste nicer, though, but might also be harder to chop.

I ended up chopping it down to 2-3mm (~1/8in?) bits, and it helps to have the meat really cold (eg having hung out in the freezer for a bit).
