Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 ounces Dried beef
- 4 tablespoons Butter
- 4 tablespoons All-purpose flour
- 3 cups Milk
- 0.25 teaspoons Ground black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoons Garlic powder (optional)
- 4 slices Bread (toasted)
Instructions
Rinse the dried beef under cold water to reduce excess salt. Pat it dry with a paper towel, then slice into small bite-sized pieces or strips.
In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat until it begins to bubble, but not brown.
Whisk in the flour, one tablespoon at a time, to form a smooth roux. Cook the roux for 1-2 minutes, whisking constantly, to eliminate the raw flour taste.
Gradually add the milk, about 1/2 cup at a time, whisking constantly to prevent lumps. Continue adding and whisking until all the milk is incorporated and the sauce begins to thicken.
Reduce the heat to low and stir in the ground black pepper and garlic powder, if using.
Add the chopped dried beef to the sauce, stirring to combine. Let the mixture simmer gently for 2-3 minutes to heat the beef and meld the flavors.
Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary, keeping in mind the saltiness of the dried beef.
Toast the bread slices until golden brown. Serve the creamed chipped beef hot over the toasted bread.
