Directions
-
Prepare the beef: Rinse the dried beef under cold water to reduce saltiness, then pat dry and slice into thin strips.
-
Melt the butter: In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter until lightly bubbling.
-
Cook the beef: Add the sliced beef and sauté for 2 minutes, stirring occasionally, until slightly browned.
-
Make the roux: Sprinkle the flour evenly over the beef and stir well to coat. Cook for 1–2 minutes to remove the raw flour taste.

-
Season: Taste and adjust with salt (if needed) and black pepper.
-
Serve: Spoon the creamed beef generously over toasted bread. Enjoy immediately.
