1. Cut the steaks in to 1″ cubes. On a separate cutting board and with a clean knife, dice the onion.

2. In a large pot or dutch oven melt butter over medium heat. Add the onions and cook until they are translucent. Add the cubed steak and cook until seared on sides (about 5-10 minutes).

3. Once the meat is seared, add all of the remaining ingredients. Turn the burner to simmer and cover. Stir occasionally for 2.5-3.5 hours or until the meat is tender.

4. Meanwhile, prepare your noodles. In a small bowl place the flour and salt. Make a well in the center. Add eggs to the center of the well. Use a a fork to slowly incorporate the flour from the sides of the bowl.

5. Once it becomes too stiff to stir, dump the dough onto a floured surface and knead with your hands until it comes together into a nice ball.

6. Option 1:

Flour a large portion of your countertop. Use a rolling pin to roll the ball of dough out until it is nearly paper thin. Use a butter knife or pizza cutter to cut noodles into desired width and length. Allow the noodles to dry while the beef cooks.

Option 2:

Use a pasta machine. Cut the ball of dough into sixths. Flatten the pieces out with your hands. You may need to add more flour, if they are too tacky they won’t go through the machine nicely. Put each section through the machine first on a wider setting and then again on a thinner setting. Place sections on a floured surface. Use a butter knife or pizza cutter to cut noodles into desired width and length. Allow the noodles to dry while the beef cooks.

7. Once the meat is tender and the noodles are dried, increase the heat and bring the sauce to low boil. Once boiling, slowly add the noodle in a handful at time while stirring continuously. Cook until noodles are soft (about 10-20 minutes depending on how thick the noodles are). Serve hot and enjoy!
