Ingredients
- 8 ounces Dried chipped beef
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 4 tablespoons All-purpose flour
- 3 cups Whole milk
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoons Garlic powder (optional)
- 4 pieces English muffins
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
Begin by rinsing the dried chipped beef under cold water to remove excess salt. Pat it dry with paper towels and slice it into thin strips.
Step 2
Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Once melted, add the flour and whisk to create a smooth roux. Cook the roux for about 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly, to eliminate the raw flour taste.
Step 3
Gradually pour the milk into the roux, whisking as you go to avoid lumps. Continue whisking until the mixture is smooth and begins to thicken, about 3-5 minutes.
Step 4
Reduce the heat to low and stir in the sliced chipped beef. Add the ground black pepper and garlic powder, if using. Let the mixture simmer gently for 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently.
Step 5
While the chipped beef mixture is simmering, split the English muffins and toast them until golden brown.
Step 6
Place two toasted English muffin halves on each plate. Ladle the creamy chipped beef mixture generously over the top.
Step 7
If desired, garnish with freshly chopped parsley for a pop of color and added freshness.
Step 8
Serve warm and enjoy your hearty and comforting meal!
