Ingredients
- 8 oz dried beef sliced or chopped
- 3 tablespoons butter
- 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 2 cups milk
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder optional
- 4 slices toast or biscuits for serving
- Fresh parsley for garnish optional
Instructions
Prepare the beef
- Rinse dried beef lightly to reduce saltiness. Pat dry and chop into small pieces.
Melt butter
- In a saucepan, melt butter over medium heat until fully liquid and warm.
Add flour
- Stir in flour and cook for one minute. This forms a smooth roux for the sauce.
Add milk slowly
- Pour milk gradually while whisking constantly. This helps avoid lumps in the sauce.
Cook the sauce
- Stir until mixture thickens into a creamy gravy. Keep heat medium-low.
Add beef
- Add chopped chipped beef into the sauce. Stir gently to mix evenly.
Season lightly
- Add black pepper and garlic powder. Taste before adding salt because beef is salty.
Simmer briefly
- Let it cook for a few minutes so flavors combine well.
Serve hot
- Pour over toast or biscuits. Garnish with parsley if desired.
Notes
- Soak beef in warm water for less salt
- Use turkey or chicken slices for lighter version
- Add mushrooms for extra flavor
- Serve over baked potatoes instead of toast
- Use half-and-half for richer texture
- Add chili flakes for mild spice
