A delicious and comforting dish featuring a creamy sauce with savory beef, perfect for a hearty breakfast or brunch.
Separate the slices of dried beef and set them aside.
Ensure the beef slices are not clumped together for even cooking.
In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat.
Use unsalted butter to control the saltiness of the dish.
Sprinkle the flour into the melted butter and whisk until smooth and bubbly.
Whisk continuously to avoid lumps in the roux.
Gradually add the milk to the roux, whisking constantly until the mixture is smooth and starts to thicken.
Warm the milk slightly before adding to prevent curdling.
Stir in the black pepper and nutmeg, mixing well.
Adjust the seasoning to taste for a balanced flavor.
Add the dried beef to the sauce and stir until heated through.
Ensure the beef is evenly coated with the sauce.
Serve the creamed beef over toasted bread or baked potatoes.
Garnish with chopped parsley for a fresh touch.
