- Roll out the dough thinly and let it dry slightly.
- Cut the dough into noodle strips.

Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider adding aromatics like onions or garlic while browning the roast. If you don't have rolled rump roast, chuck roast is a great alternative. Make sure the dough is not too wet; if it sticks, sprinkle with more flour. Adjust the thickness of the noodles to your preference for a heartier meal, as thicker noodles will take longer to cook.
Serving Suggestions
Serve Aunt Carol's Beef and Noodles with a side of steamed vegetables or a crisp salad for a balanced meal. A dollop of sour cream can enhance the creaminess of the dish. It pairs beautifully with Margie'S Vegetable Soup for a comforting dinner experience.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, gently warm it in a pot over low heat, adding a splash of water or broth to loosen the noodles. Avoid microwaving as it can make the noodles chewy.
