Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 ounces Dried chipped beef
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 4 tablespoons All-purpose flour
- 3 cups Whole milk
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoons Garlic powder (optional)
- 4 pieces English muffins
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Begin by rinsing the dried chipped beef under cold water to remove excess salt. Pat it dry with paper towels and slice it into thin strips.
Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Once melted, add the flour and whisk to create a smooth roux. Cook the roux for about 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly, to eliminate the raw flour taste.
Gradually pour the milk into the roux, whisking as you go to avoid lumps. Continue whisking until the mixture is smooth and begins to thicken, about 3-5 minutes.
Reduce the heat to low and stir in the sliced chipped beef. Add the ground black pepper and garlic powder, if using. Let the mixture simmer gently for 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently.
While the chipped beef mixture is simmering, split the English muffins and toast them until golden brown.
Place two toasted English muffin halves on each plate. Ladle the creamy chipped beef mixture generously over the top.
If desired, garnish with freshly chopped parsley for a pop of color and added freshness.
Serve warm and enjoy your hearty and comforting meal!
