Creamed Beef (SOS)
Ingredients:
- 5 tbsp butter
- 3 tbsp bacon grease
- 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
- 3 cups warm milk
- 2 tsp pepper (adjust to taste)
- 4 oz sliced beef (e.g., Buddig)
- 4 oz dried beef
Instructions:
- Prepare the Roux: In a medium saucepan over low heat, melt the butter and bacon grease together.
- Make the Roux: Whisk in the flour all at once to form a roux. Stir continuously until the mixture is smooth and slightly thickened.
- Add Milk: Gradually whisk in the warm milk, a little at a time, ensuring there are no lumps. Increase the heat to medium-high and continue cooking, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens to your desired consistency.
- Season: Stir in the pepper to season the sauce. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
- Add Beef: Fold in the sliced beef and dried beef. Allow the mixture to simmer for a few minutes, ensuring the beef is heated through.
- Serve: Spoon the creamed beef over toasted artisan bread or Texas toast. Enjoy!
Notes:
- You can customize the thickness of the sauce by adjusting the amount of flour used in the roux.
- Feel free to add additional seasonings like garlic powder, onion powder, or herbs for extra flavor.
- Serve with a side of eggs or roasted vegetables for a complete meal
