Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 ounces dried beef
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 2 cups skim milk
- 0.25 teaspoons ground black pepper
- 8 slices whole wheat bread
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
Instructions
Begin by rinsing the dried beef under cold water to remove excess salt, then pat dry with paper towels and cut it into bite-sized pieces.
In a medium-sized skillet, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat. Once melted, add the all-purpose flour to the butter, stirring constantly until the mixture becomes a smooth paste, about 2 minutes.
Slowly add the skim milk to the butter and flour mixture, whisking continuously to avoid lumps. Continue cooking and stirring until the mixture thickens, about 3-4 minutes.
Add the cut dried beef to the creamy sauce and stir gently to combine. Reduce the heat to low and let the mixture simmer for an additional 2 minutes to heat the beef through.
Season the creamed beef with ground black pepper to taste. Optionally, add a small pinch of salt if necessary, but taste first as the beef can be salty.
Meanwhile, toast the whole wheat bread slices until golden brown and crisp.
Serve the creamed chipped beef over the warm toasted bread, garnishing with fresh chopped parsley for a touch of color and freshness.
