| Dried Chipped Beef | 4 ounces |
| Unsalted Butter | 1/4 cup |
| All-Purpose Flour | 1/4 cup |
| Whole Milk | 2 cups |

Instructions-
Rinse and Chop the Beef
Rinse the dried chipped beef under cold water to remove excess salt. Pat dry with paper towels and cut into small bite-sized pieces. -
Sauté the Beef
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the chopped beef and sauté for 1–2 minutes until it’s just beginning to brown and release a savory aroma. -
Create the Roux
Sprinkle the flour over the beef and butter mixture. Stir continuously to form a smooth paste. This roux is the foundation for your creamy sauce. -
Add the Milk Slowly
Gradually pour in the milk while stirring constantly to prevent lumps. Keep stirring until the mixture is smooth and begins to thicken. -
Season and Simmer
Add black pepper and Worcestershire sauce. Continue to cook the mixture, stirring often, until it reaches a rich, creamy consistency that clings to the back of a spoon. -
Toast the Bread
While the sauce simmers, toast your bread slices until golden and crispy. You can use white bread, sourdough, or even biscuits for a Southern twist. -
Assemble and Serve
Lay the toast on plates and ladle the hot creamed chipped beef generously over the top. If desired, sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley for color and a hint of freshness.
