Step 5: Add the Chipped Beef
- Stir the sliced beef into the cream sauce.
- Let it simmer for 2–3 minutes, just until the beef is heated through.
- Don’t overcook it—the beef is already cured.
Step 6: Prepare the Toast
- Toast 4 to 6 slices of bread until golden.
- Arrange them on plates—either whole slices or cut diagonally for presentation.
Step 7: Assemble and Serve
- Spoon the creamy chipped beef mixture generously over the toast.
- Serve hot, with extra black pepper on top if you like.
Variations to Try
- Biscuits Instead of Toast: Spoon the mixture over warm, flaky biscuits for a Southern-style twist.
- Add Vegetables: Sautéed onions, mushrooms, or peas can be folded into the sauce for extra flavor.
- Spice It Up: Add a dash of cayenne or hot sauce if you prefer a kick.
- Extra Rich: Replace half the milk with heavy cream for a decadent version.
- Lighter Version: Use skim milk and less butter for a leaner dish.
