Ingredients:

• 2 tbsp butter
• 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
• 2 cups milk (whole milk preferred)
• 1 jar (2.5 oz / 70g) dried beef, rinsed and chopped
• Black pepper, to taste
• 4 slices of toasted bread (white, sourdough, or your favorite)

Instructions:

1. Make the Roux:
   In a medium saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Whisk in flour and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly to form a roux.
2. Add Milk:
   Slowly whisk in the milk. Cook, stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens (about 3–5 minutes).
3. Add Beef:
   Stir in the chopped dried beef. Heat through and simmer for 2–3 minutes. Season with black pepper (no salt needed—beef is salty!).
4. Serve:
   Spoon the creamy beef mixture generously over toasted bread slices. Serve hot for breakfast, brunch, or comfort-food dinner.

Enjoy!!
