Creamed Chipped Beef on Toast

Source of Recipe


From "Saveur: The New Classics"



List of Ingredients



• 10 ounces dried sliced beef, chopped into ½-inch pieces
  
• 7½ cups milk
  
• 1 cup flour
  
• â…“ cup bacon grease, melted
  
• Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
  
• 20 slices white sandwich bread, toasted
  






Instructions



1. Put beef into a large bowl, cover with cold water, and soak for 3 to 5 minutes (depending on how salty you'd like the finished product to be). Drain beef and set aside.
   
   
2. Put milk into a large pot and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Meanwhile, put flour and bacon grease into a medium bowl and stir well to form a smooth paste. Reduce heat to medium-low, whisk flour paste into milk, and cook, stirring constantly, until thickened, 2 to 3 minutes.
   
   
3. Add beef, season with salt and pepper to taste, and simmer until sauce thickens, about 5 minutes more. Ladle the creamed chipped beef over toast and serve immediately.
