Instructions

In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter.
Whisk in the flour to form a roux. Cook for about 1–2 minutes, stirring constantly.
Slowly pour in the milk while whisking to avoid lumps.
Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer and cook until thickened, about 5 minutes.
Add the sliced dried beef and stir to combine.
Season with black pepper to taste.
Simmer for another 2–3 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Serve hot over slices of toasted bread.

Notes

Rinse or soak the dried beef briefly in water if it tastes too salty.
For a creamier version, substitute half of the milk with heavy cream.

Add a pinch of cayenne pepper or paprika for a little kick.
