Preparation

Step 1

Melt butter in a large pan over medium-high heat.

Tear chipped beef into small pieces and add it to the butter.

Gradually add flour to the pan, stirring until a thick paste forms.

Pour in half-and-half and reduce heat to medium-low. Continue stirring until thick and creamy.

Cook for at least 20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until desired consistency is reached.

Once desired thickness is reached, bring sauce back up to a boil and whisk vigorously for 1 minute.

Taste and season with pepper (salt is probably unnecessary) and place a combination of beef and sauce over toast.
