Ingredients
- 8 oz Dried beef
- 4 tbsp Butter
- 4 tbsp All-purpose flour
- 3 cups Milk
- 0.5 tsp Black pepper
- 8 slices White bread
Directions
Step 1
Remove the dried beef from the packaging and rinse it under cold water to remove excess salt. Pat it dry with paper towels, then cut it into bite-sized pieces or strips.
Step 2
In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat.
Step 3
Once the butter is melted, add the flour and whisk it continuously for 1-2 minutes to create a roux. The mixture should be smooth and begin to bubble slightly.
Step 4
Gradually add the milk, about 1/2 cup at a time, whisking constantly to prevent lumps. Continue until all the milk is incorporated and the mixture is smooth.
Step 5
Increase the heat slightly and stir the mixture until it thickens into a creamy sauce. This should take about 5-7 minutes.
Step 6
Add the chopped dried beef to the sauce and mix well. Let it simmer for an additional 2-3 minutes to heat the beef through.
Step 7
Season the sauce with black pepper to taste. Note that additional salt is usually unnecessary due to the natural saltiness of the dried beef.
Step 8
Toast the slices of white bread to your desired level of crispness.
Step 9
Serve the creamed chipped beef hot by spooning it generously over the toast. Enjoy immediately!
