Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 oz dried chipped beef
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups whole milk
  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 4 thick slices of bread, toasted until golden and crispy

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Chipped Beef: Rinse and soak the dried chipped beef briefly in cold water to remove excess salt. Drain and chop it into bite-sized pieces for easy cooking.
  2. Make the Roux: Melt butter in a skillet over medium heat. Whisk in the flour to form a smooth paste and cook for 1-2 minutes to eliminate the raw flour taste.
  3. Add Milk and Season: Gradually whisk in the milk, stirring constantly to create a creamy sauce. Add freshly ground black pepper. Continue cooking until the sauce thickens to a gravy-like consistency.
  4. Incorporate the Chipped Beef: Stir the chopped beef into the sauce. Heat through and allow the flavors to meld for a few minutes.
  5. Toast the Bread: While the sauce simmers, toast the bread slices until golden and crispy to provide the perfect base.
  6. Serve and Enjoy: Spoon the warm chipped beef sauce generously over the toasted bread. Serve immediately for the ultimate comforting experience.

Notes

  • Drain excess salt by soaking the chipped beef to balance flavors.
  • Use whole milk for the creamiest sauce.
  • Don’t skip the roux to ensure a smooth, thick sauce.
  • Toast bread well to prevent sogginess and add texture.
  • Serve immediately for optimal texture and flavor.
