INGREDIENTS:

  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour

  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • ¼ teaspoon garlic powder (optional)
  • Toasted white bread, Texas toast, or biscuits

INSTRUCTIONS:

  1. Make the Roux: In a medium skillet over medium heat, melt butter. Stir in flour and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly.

  3. Add the Beef: Stir in the dried beef, black pepper, and optional garlic powder. Let it simmer for 2 minutes.
  4. Serve: Spoon the mixture over toasted bread and enjoy!
