Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 8 ounces dried beef (thinly sliced; roughly chopped before using) Rinse to reduce saltiness if needed.
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour (or gluten-free flour)
  • 2 cups milk (whole or low-fat) Use room-temperature milk to avoid lumps.
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste Use sparingly as the dried beef is salty.
  • Bread for toast (white, sourdough, or whole wheat; best fresh)

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Toast the bread first so it’s ready.
  2. Melt butter over medium heat in a skillet.
  3. Stir in flour and cook for 1–2 minutes to remove the raw flour taste; do not brown.
  4. Slowly whisk in milk, a little at a time, until smooth.
  5. Bring to a gentle simmer and cook until the sauce coats the back of a spoon (about 3–5 minutes).
  6. Add chopped dried beef and warm through for 1–2 minutes.
  7. Season with pepper and add salt only if needed.
  8. Spoon over warm toast and serve immediately.

Notes

Best served with a crisp green salad, soft-poached eggs, or steamed vegetables. For leftovers, cool the sauce to room temperature and store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3–4 days. Reheat gently over low heat, adding a splash of milk if needed.
