Homemade Noodles with Beef

Wonderfully tasty, aromatic homemade noodles with beef. The beef comes out very tender — it just melts in your mouth. It pairs perfectly with homemade noodles, which are nothing like the store-bought kind — naturally, since they're made by hand and with love.

Cooking method

Step 1:

Let's make homemade noodles with beef. To start, cut the beef into small pieces. It's better to use fresh meat, but if yours is frozen, thaw it in the fridge first — that way the meat keeps the right texture and juiciness.
Step 2:

Cover it with plenty of water and set it over moderate heat.
Step 3:

Once it boils, skim off all the foam, add salt and the peppercorns, cover with a lid, turn the heat down to its lowest, and simmer until tender for 1.5–2 hours.
Step 4:

Peel the onion, rinse it, and cut it into half-rings, or a little smaller, like I do.
Step 5:

Wash and peel the carrot and cut it into thick sticks.
Step 6:

After an hour and a half to two hours, drain off the excess broth and set it aside — we'll still need it. Add the vegetable oil, onion, and carrot, and fry for 5–7 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Step 7:

Add the tomato paste and enough broth to completely cover the beef pieces, cover with a lid, and simmer for 60 minutes.
Step 8:

Make the noodles. Crack the eggs into a bowl, add salt and vegetable oil, and mix with a whisk.
Step 9:

Sift the flour into a deep bowl, make a well, and pour the oil-and-egg mixture into it. Drawing the flour in from the edges with the whisk, gently start kneading the dough.
Step 10:

Dust the countertop with flour, turn the dough out onto it, and keep kneading by hand. Knead a soft, elastic dough. Wrap it in plastic wrap and let it rest for half an hour.
Step 11:

Dusting the rolling pin and counter with flour, roll the dough out into a very thin sheet.
Step 12:

Divide it in two and cut it into long strips 5 mm wide, as in the photo.
Step 13:

Dust them with flour so they don't stick together and leave them to dry for an hour. Then put water on the stove, salt it, wait for it to boil, and drop in the noodles. Cook them for the first two minutes, stirring so they don't stick together, then cook for another 5–7 minutes until done. Then mix the noodles with the beef. The homemade noodles with beef are ready! Enjoy!

You can swap the beef for any other kind of meat you prefer. But keep in mind that the cooking time, as well as the flavor and calorie count of the dish, will change. Pork and lamb are usually fattier than beef, while chicken fillet or turkey is leaner. And the cooking time depends not just on the type of meat but also on which part of the carcass you use and how old or young the meat is.
