How to Make Rob's Favorite Creamed Dried Beef
- Separate the slices of dried beef and set aside.
- Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat.
- Once the butter foams, sprinkle in 2 tablespoons of flour and whisk vigorously until a smooth paste forms (roux).
- Gradually whisk in 1 cup of hot milk, ensuring no lumps form. Reduce heat to low and cook, stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens slightly (about 2-3 minutes).
- Slowly stir in 1/2 cup of heavy cream, continuing to stir until the sauce reaches your desired consistency and is heated through.
- Add 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper (or to taste) and the dried beef. Stir gently until the beef is heated through and the sauce is well combined.
- Serve immediately over crisply toasted wheat bread or a hot baked russet potato.
