Instructions
Melt the Butter: In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter until smooth.
Make the Roux: Whisk in the flour and cook for 1 minute to create a smooth paste.
Add the Milk: Slowly pour in the milk, whisking constantly to avoid lumps. Let it simmer for about 5 minutes until thickened.
Add the Beef: Stir in the chopped beef and black pepper. Cook for 2 more minutes, stirring occasionally.
Taste and Adjust: Sample the sauce and add salt only if needed.
Serve: Spoon the creamy beef mixture over toasted bread and enjoy while hot.
Helpful Tips
If the beef is too salty, soak it in water for 10 minutes, then rinse and pat dry before cooking.
You can substitute leftover corned beef, roast beef, or even thinly sliced ham for a variation.
For extra flavor, add a pinch of paprika or a sprinkle of fresh parsley before serving.
