Ingredient Quantity Description
Unsalted Butter 1/4 cup Decadent foundation
All-Purpose Flour 1/4 cup Thickening agent
Whole Milk 2 cups Creamy base
Dried Beef 1 cup Thinly sliced or chipped
Salt and Black Pepper To taste Flavor balance
Cayenne Pepper (optional) Pinch Subtle kick
For Serving:
Toasted Bread Slices or Biscuits | Golden platform |
Instructions:
Prep the Dried Beef (10-15 minutes):
Gently soak the dried beef in warm water to reduce its saltiness. Pat it dry thoroughly.
Then, slice or chip the softened dried beef into bite-sized pieces.
Craft the Cream Sauce (3-7 minutes):
In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the unsalted butter, creating a base for the sauce.
Whisk in the all-purpose flour, cooking for 1-2 minutes until it turns a golden brown. This roux will thicken the sauce.
Gradually whisk in the whole milk, ensuring a smooth and creamy consistency.
Introduce Flavor and Texture (optional simmering):
Gently fold in the sliced or chipped dried beef, allowing it to integrate with the creamy sauce.
Season the mixture with salt, black pepper, and a touch of cayenne pepper for an optional kick. Adjust the seasonings to your preference.
Simmer the creamed chipped beef for 5-7 minutes on low heat, allowing the flavors to meld.
Prepare the Stage (variable):
While the mixture simmers, toast your bread slices or biscuits to create a warm and inviting base for the creamed chipped beef.
Serve and Enjoy:
Spoon the warm creamed chipped beef over the toasted bread slices or biscuits.
Garnish with an extra sprinkle of black pepper for a final touch.
Savor each bite of this comforting and flavorful dish.
Cooking Notes:
Feel free to adjust the amount of flour or milk to achieve your desired sauce thickness.
The dried beef can be quite salty, so taste the sauce before adding additional salt.
