A comforting and quick dish featuring a creamy beef gravy served over crispy toast.
Cut the dried beef into thin strips or small pieces.
Cutting the beef into smaller pieces ensures even distribution in the sauce.
Melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat.
Use medium heat to prevent the butter from burning.
Whisk in the flour and ground pepper until smooth.
Stir continuously to avoid lumps in the roux.
Gradually add the milk, whisking constantly, until the mixture thickens.
Adding the milk slowly helps achieve a smooth and creamy consistency.
Stir in the beef and let it simmer for 5 minutes.
Simmering allows the flavors to meld together beautifully.
Toast the bread slices to your liking.
For extra flavor, you can butter the bread before toasting.
Serve the beef gravy over the toasted bread.
Garnish with a sprinkle of parsley for a fresh touch.
