Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 oz Dried beef
- 4 tbsp Unsalted butter
- 4 tbsp All-purpose flour
- 3 cups Milk
- 0.5 tsp Ground black pepper
- 0.25 tsp Cayenne pepper
- 0.25 tsp Garlic powder
- 6 slices White bread (toasted)
- 1 tbsp Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
1. Slice the dried beef into thin strips or small pieces and set aside.
2. In a medium-sized saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat.
3. Once the butter has melted, sprinkle the flour over it and whisk continuously to form a smooth paste (roux). Cook for 1-2 minutes to remove the raw flour taste.
4. Gradually whisk in the milk, a little at a time, ensuring there are no lumps. Continue to cook, whisking occasionally, until the mixture thickens into a creamy sauce (about 5 minutes).
5. Stir in the black pepper, cayenne pepper, and garlic powder. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
6. Add the sliced dried beef to the sauce and mix well. Let it simmer for 2-3 minutes so the flavors meld together.
7. Toast the slices of bread to your preferred level of crispiness.
8. Spoon the creamed chipped beef mixture generously over the toasted bread slices.
9. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley, if desired, and serve warm. Enjoy your Creamed Chipped Beef on Toast Cayenne Kick!
