Chuck Roast With Homemade Noodles

1 (3 pound) boneless beef chuck roast (on sale this week for $2.19/lb)
1/2 cup chopped onion
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 1/2 cups water, divided
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 egg
2 tablespoons milk
1 (14 ounce) can beef broth
pepper to taste

1. In a Dutch oven, brown roast and onion in oil. Add 1/2 cup of water. Cover and bake at 325 degrees F for 2-1/2 to 3 hours or until the meat is tender.
2. Meanwhile, to make the noodles, combine flour and salt in a bowl; make a well in the center. beat egg and milk; pour into well. Stir to form a stiff dough. Turn onto a well-floured surface; roll into a 15-in. x 12-in. rectangle. cut into 1/8-in. strips. Cover and refrigerate until ready to cook.
3. Remove roast and keep warm; add broth and remaining water to pan. Bring to a boil; add noodles. Cook for 8-10 minute or until tender. Drain; season with pepper. Serve with the roast.

Note: Based on reviews, add your own seasoning to the meat before cooking. People also recommended doubling the noodle recipe. If you're short on time, substitute egg noodles.
