Ingredients
- 8 ounces dried beef
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 quarter cup all-purpose flour
- 3 cups whole milk
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoons ground nutmeg (optional)
- 1 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley (optional for garnish)
- 8 slices bread or biscuits (for serving)
Directions
Step 1
Start by rinsing the dried beef in cold water to remove excess salt. Pat it dry with paper towels, then chop it into bite-sized strips or pieces.
Step 2
In a medium saucepan or skillet, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat. Once melted, whisk in the all-purpose flour to create a roux. Stir continuously for 1-2 minutes until the mixture is smooth and slightly golden, but not browned.
Step 3
Gradually pour in the whole milk, whisking constantly to prevent lumps. Continue stirring until the sauce begins to thicken, about 3-5 minutes.
Step 4
Lower the heat to medium-low and stir in the chopped dried beef. Allow the mixture to simmer for 2-3 minutes, ensuring the beef is heated through.
Step 5
Season the sauce with black pepper and a pinch of ground nutmeg, if desired. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. Note: The dried beef is already salty, so additional salt isn’t usually necessary.
Step 6
Toast the bread slices or prepare the biscuits according to package instructions or your preference.
Step 7
To serve, spoon the creamed chipped beef generously over the toasted bread or split biscuits. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley for a touch of color, if desired.
