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 Optional salt (to taste)
- 6 slices White or whole-wheat bread (for serving)
Directions
Step 1
1. Prepare the dried beef: Remove the chipped beef slices from the packaging and rinse under cold water to remove excess salt. Pat the beef dry with paper towels. Chop the beef into bite-sized pieces or strips and set aside.
Step 2
2. Melt the butter: In a medium-sized skillet or saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat.
Step 3
3. Make the roux: Once the butter is fully melted, add the all-purpose flour to the pan. Stir constantly with a whisk or wooden spoon to create a smooth paste. Cook the roux for 1-2 minutes, stirring frequently, to eliminate the raw flour taste.
Step 4
4. Add the milk: Gradually pour the whole milk into the pan, about 1/2 cup at a time, whisking vigorously to incorporate the milk into the roux. Continue whisking as you add the remaining milk to avoid lumps.
Step 5
5. Cook the sauce: Increase the heat to medium-high and cook the mixture, stirring constantly, until it thickens into a creamy sauce. This should take 5-7 minutes.
Step 6
6. Add the beef and seasonings: Lower the heat to medium-low and stir the chopped dried beef into the cream sauce. Add ground black pepper and optional salt if needed, keeping in mind that the dried beef is naturally salty. Simmer for another 2-3 minutes to heat the beef through and meld the flavors.
Step 7
7. Toast the bread: While the sauce is simmering, toast the slices of bread to your desired level of crispness.
Step 8
8. Serve: Spoon the creamed chipped beef sauce generously over the toasted bread slices. Serve immediately and enjoy!
