Recipe: Chuck Roast with Homemade Noodles

CHUCK ROAST WITH HOMEMADE NOODLES

1 (3 to 4 pound) boneless beef chuck roast
1/2 cup chopped onion
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 1/2 cups water, divided
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 egg
2 tablespoons milk
1 (14 ounces) can beef broth
Pepper to taste

In a Dutch oven, brown roast and onion in oil. Add 1/2 cup water.

Cover and bake at 325 degrees for 2 1/2 to 3 hours or until meat is tender.

Meanwhile, for noodles, combine flour and salt in a bowl; make a well in the center.

Beat egg and milk; pour into well. Stir to form a stiff dough. Turn onto a well-floured surface; roll into 15-by-12-inch rectangle. Cut into 1/8-inch strips. Cover and refrigerate until ready to cook.

Remove roast and keep warm.

Add broth and remaining water to pan. Bring to a boil; add noodles. Cook for 8 to 10 minutes or until tender. Drain; season with pepper. Serve with the roast.

Note: Uncooked noodles may be stored in the refrigerator for 2 to 3 days or frozen up to 1 month.
