Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 ounces Dried beef
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 4 tablespoons All-purpose flour
- 3 cups Whole milk
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoons Onion powder
- 0.125 teaspoons Ground nutmeg (optional)
- 4 slices Bread (or waffles)
- 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley (for garnish)
Instructions
Slice the dried beef into thin strips or small pieces. If the beef is very salty, rinse it briefly under cold water and pat it dry with paper towels.
In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Once melted, whisk in the flour to form a smooth paste (roux). Cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly, to remove the raw flour taste, but do not let it brown.
Gradually add the milk to the roux, whisking constantly to prevent lumps. Continue cooking, stirring frequently, until the mixture thickens and reaches a creamy sauce consistency (about 5-7 minutes).
Stir in the dried beef, ground black pepper, onion powder, and nutmeg (if using). Let the beef warm through and allow the flavors to meld for 2-3 minutes. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed, but remember the dried beef is naturally salty.
While the sauce is cooking, prepare your base. Toast the bread slices until golden and crisp, or cook waffles according to package instructions or your preferred recipe.
To serve, spoon a generous portion of the creamed chipped beef over the toast or waffles. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley for a touch of color and freshness.
Serve immediately and enjoy this creamy, hearty dish!
