-
Rinse the slices of dried beef really well – they are VERY salty! Once you have rinsed well, pat dry with a paper towel.
-
Chop the beef into small bite-sized pieces. Set aside.
-
Heat the butter in the large saucepan over medium heat.
-
Add the flour and pinch of cayenne pepper to the melted butter and whisk until well combined and cooked through, about 45 seconds.
-
Very slowly add the milk while whisking continually.
-
Once the milk has all been added, add the chopped dried beef.
-
Cook, stirring occasionally, for a few minutes until thickened.
-
Taste and season with sea salt and freshly cracked pepper, to taste, if needed.
-
Serve on top of dry toast immediately. Enjoy.
