Ingredients Equipment Method

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

Equipment

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

Method
 

  1. Rinse the dried beef under cold water to remove excess salt. Pat it dry with a paper towel.
  2. Slice the beef into thin strips or bite-sized pieces. Set aside.
  3. Make the Cream Sauce:
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
  7. Prepare the Toast:
  8. While the sauce is cooking, toast the bread slices until they are golden and crispy.
  9. Serve:
  10. 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.
  11. Serve immediately, hot and delicious.
