A classic American comfort food, often called 'SOS,' featuring rehydrated chipped or dried beef in a rich, creamy white sauce, traditionally served over toast. --- RECIPE --- Servings: 2-3 Prep Time: 15 minutes Ingredients: - 4 oz dried beef, rinsed and shredded (or chipped beef) - 2 tablespoons butter - 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour - 2 cups milk (whole or 2%) - 1/4 teaspoon black pepper - Pinch of cayenne pepper (optional) - Salt to taste (use sparingly, dried beef is salty) - 4-6 slices of toast, for serving Instructions: 1. If using dried beef, rinse it thoroughly under cold water to reduce saltiness, then pat dry and shred into small pieces. 2. In a medium saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Whisk in flour and cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly, to create a roux. 3. Gradually whisk in milk until smooth. Bring to a simmer, stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens. 4. Stir in the shredded dried beef, black pepper, and cayenne pepper (if using). Cook for 2-3 minutes, allowing the beef to heat through and flavors to meld. 5. Taste and add salt if needed, but be cautious as dried beef is already salty. 6. Serve hot over slices of toast.
