BEEF AND NOODLES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• For the broth: Place the beef bones in a large roasting pan and roast in the oven for 3 hours. Add the carrots, celery and onions, and roast 1 hour longer.
• Mix the au jus powder with the granulated garlic and 1 teaspoon water to make a heavy paste. Coat the beef roast thoroughly. Cover the roast with foil and cook along with the bones for 1 hour. Remove the foil and cook 30 minutes longer. Allow to rest for 15 minutes.
• Place the bones and roasted vegetables in a stockpot with the beef stock. Simmer for 1 hour. Strain the bones and vegetables and discard, and then return the liquid to the pot.
• Cut the beef into 3/4-inch cubes. Add to the liquid and simmer for 30 minutes.
• For the noodles: In a large mixing bowl, stir together the 3 cups of the flour and the salt.
• In another bowl, combine 2/3 cup water, the eggs, yolks and oil. Mix, and then add to the dry ingredients.
• Knead the dough until it is smooth and elastic, 8 to 10 minutes. Add the remaining 1/2 cup flour, as needed. Cover with a towel and let rest for 10 minutes. Divide the dough in half on a lightly floured surface. Roll each half into a 12-by-12-inch square, about 1/16 inch thick. Cut into 2- to 3-inch-long strips. Toss the noodles with some flour to separate.
• Add the noodles to the beef broth and simmer for 30 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

GRANDMA'S BEEF AND NOODLES

Steps:

• Heat an oval dutch oven (any braising dish will work, although Grandma always used an oval, about 5 qts, which happened to be what I have too) over medium high heat. When it is hot, add the oil and heat it to shimmering. In the meantime, dry the beef thoroughly and coat and rub it in salt and pepper. Be generous here, there should be a decent coat of salt on the meat. Place the beef in the heated oil and sear on all sides. Take your time and let a crust develop before turning it. Get as many sides as you can--due to shape you may miss some, which is ok.
• Preheat the oven to 300 F to be ready in 3-4 hours--if you need to take longer you can also cook it at 275 for the first few hours and take more like 5-6 hours total.
• Remove the beef and place on a dish that will catch the juices. Throw the onions and garlic into the pot. Turn down the heat if it is too hot, which will happen with cast iron. Cook until the onions are translucent. Deglaze the pan with the white wine, just a splash or 2. Add the 2 cups beef stock and bring to a boil. Add the beef, with its juices, back into the pan. Cover the pan with parchment paper hanging over the sides and place a heavy, tight fitting lid on top of that. Place in the oven for 3-4 hours. Turn the beef over halfway through, especially if your cut of beef is higher than the liquid line.
• When the beef is falling apart tender, break it apart into bite sized clumps. Add canned beef if using. Add enough stock to be able to cook the noodles and add some salt if using homemade.
• Bring to a boil on the stovetop over medium high heat and add the noodles. When the noodles are done, take notice of now thick or watery the sauce is. If it is too watery, let it simmer, uncovered. Mix 1-2 tablespoons flour (depending on how watery you think it is) with the equivalent of cold water and add it to the sauce. The finished dish should be saucier than mine looks (see notes above about my stock problem). Taste for salt and pepper.
• If you have some guests who need heat in their food no matter what, serve with red chil pepper flakes (Grandma just rolled over in her grave, as did Grandpa too, but what can I say I am married to a Chile Head).

Steps:

• 3. You can use 1 large can of beef broth and less--or no--water, for a beefier flavor.
