Ingredients
- 8 ounces Dried beef
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 4 tablespoons All-purpose flour
- 3 cups Whole milk
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoons Onion powder
- 0.125 teaspoons Ground nutmeg (optional)
- 4 slices Bread (or waffles)
- 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley (for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
Slice the dried beef into thin strips or small pieces. If the beef is very salty, rinse it briefly under cold water and pat it dry with paper towels.
Step 2
In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Once melted, whisk in the flour to form a smooth paste (roux). Cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly, to remove the raw flour taste, but do not let it brown.
Step 3
Gradually add the milk to the roux, whisking constantly to prevent lumps. Continue cooking, stirring frequently, until the mixture thickens and reaches a creamy sauce consistency (about 5-7 minutes).
Step 4
Stir in the dried beef, ground black pepper, onion powder, and nutmeg (if using). Let the beef warm through and allow the flavors to meld for 2-3 minutes. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed, but remember the dried beef is naturally salty.
Step 5
While the sauce is cooking, prepare your base. Toast the bread slices until golden and crisp, or cook waffles according to package instructions or your preferred recipe.
Step 6
To serve, spoon a generous portion of the creamed chipped beef over the toast or waffles. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley for a touch of color and freshness.
Step 7
Serve immediately and enjoy this creamy, hearty dish!
