One of my favorite things to make is my husband's Grandmother's chicken with homemade noodles. I'll give you her "recipe" and you can sub the beef for her chicken. Keep in mind, she's 81 years old and I wrote down her instructions verbatim. My editorial comments will be in parentheses.
"In a large bowl put flour (several cups) and put a hole in the middle of the flour
Beat 2 or 3 eggs with a pinch of salt and half an egg shell of milk (that's my favorite "measurement"), pour in hole
Add flour from the sides until it's not sticky, then roll out pretty thin and cut lonh noodles (I use a pizza cutter on a floured counter), then cut those noodles in half
Boil whole chicken with salt and pepper until done, remove and cool, pull meat and add back to broth. Sprinkle a bit of flour into broth to thicken. Do not hard boil the broth when you add the noodles."
This is best when the noodles low simmer for a couple of hours - even better the next day. I *love* this recipe and make it at least once a month for the family. If you try, please let me know how it turns out!
