Ingredients
- 8 ounces dried beef
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 2 cups skim milk
- 0.25 teaspoons ground black pepper
- 8 slices whole wheat bread
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
Directions
Step 1
Begin by rinsing the dried beef under cold water to remove excess salt, then pat dry with paper towels and cut it into bite-sized pieces.
Step 2
In a medium-sized skillet, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat. Once melted, add the all-purpose flour to the butter, stirring constantly until the mixture becomes a smooth paste, about 2 minutes.
Step 3
Slowly add the skim milk to the butter and flour mixture, whisking continuously to avoid lumps. Continue cooking and stirring until the mixture thickens, about 3-4 minutes.
Step 4
Add the cut dried beef to the creamy sauce and stir gently to combine. Reduce the heat to low and let the mixture simmer for an additional 2 minutes to heat the beef through.
Step 5
Season the creamed beef with ground black pepper to taste. Optionally, add a small pinch of salt if necessary, but taste first as the beef can be salty.
Step 6
Meanwhile, toast the whole wheat bread slices until golden brown and crisp.
Step 7
Serve the creamed chipped beef over the warm toasted bread, garnishing with fresh chopped parsley for a touch of color and freshness.
