Kitchen Equipment Needed:

Large skillet
Whisk
Measuring cups and spoons
Knife and cutting board
Toaster or toaster oven
Large spoon or spatula

Ingredients:

8 oz dried beef, sliced thin
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
4 tablespoons all-purpose flour
4 cups whole milk
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 teaspoon paprika (optional, for garnish)
8 slices of bread (white, wheat, or your choice), toasted

Directions:

Prepare the Dried Beef:
- Rinse the dried beef under cold water to remove excess salt. Pat it dry with a paper towel.
- Slice the beef into thin strips or bite-sized pieces. Set aside.
Make the Cream Sauce:
- In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Once melted, stir in the flour to form a roux. Cook the roux for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly, until it is lightly golden and bubbly.
- Gradually whisk in the milk, continuing to whisk until the mixture is smooth and free of lumps. Increase the heat to medium-high and cook the sauce, stirring constantly, until it thickens, about 5-7 minutes.
- Add the sliced beef to the cream sauce and stir to combine. Reduce the heat to low and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
Prepare the Toast:
- While the sauce is cooking, toast the bread slices until they are golden and crispy.
Serve:
- Spoon the creamed chipped beef over the toasted bread. Sprinkle with black pepper and, if desired, a pinch of paprika for a touch of color and flavor.
- Serve immediately, hot and delicious.
