Ingredients
2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 cups whole milk
4.5 ounces dried beef
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
4 slices bread, toasted
Instructions
1. Slice or tear the dried beef into bite-sized pieces. Rinse and pat dry if overly salty.
2. In a skillet, melt the butter over medium heat.
3. Whisk in flour and cook for 1 minute until bubbly and golden.
4. Slowly whisk in the milk, stirring constantly to prevent lumps.
5. Cook the sauce, stirring often, until it thickens—about 5–7 minutes.
6. Fold in the dried beef and simmer for 2–3 minutes.
7. Toast your bread slices until golden.
8. Spoon the creamy beef over toast and top with black pepper. Serve hot.
Notes
Rinsing the dried beef helps balance the saltiness—don’t skip it if it tastes overly briny.
Use thick, hearty bread like Texas toast or sourdough for the best results.
