Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 oz Dried chipped beef
- 4 tbsp Unsalted butter
- 4 tbsp All-purpose flour
- 3 cups Whole milk
- 0.5 tsp Ground black pepper
- 0.25 tsp Ground nutmeg (optional)
- 4 Slices of bread (white, whole wheat, or sourdough)
- 1 tbsp Chopped parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Rinse the dried chipped beef under cold water to reduce excess salt. Pat dry with a paper towel and slice into thin strips or small bite-sized pieces.
In a large skillet or saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat.
Once the butter is melted and bubbling, whisk in the all-purpose flour. Cook the mixture, whisking constantly, for 1-2 minutes to make a smooth roux. Be careful not to let it brown.
Slowly pour in the milk, about 1/2 cup at a time, while whisking continuously. Continue whisking until the mixture is smooth and starts to thicken.
Add the chopped chipped beef to the skillet, stirring to combine.
Season the sauce with ground black pepper and nutmeg (if using). Taste and adjust seasoning as needed; avoid adding salt, as the chipped beef is naturally salty.
Reduce the heat to low and let the mixture simmer gently for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Meanwhile, toast the slices of bread until golden brown.
Serve the creamy chipped beef gravy over the toasted bread. Garnish with chopped parsley, if desired.
Serve hot and enjoy your hearty 'S.O.S.' meal!
