Ingredients

8 ounces Buddig original beef see notes
¼ cup butter
¼ cup all-purpose flour
½ teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
2 pinches ground cayenne pepper
2 cups milk see notes
salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

Slice the beef into bite-size pieces.
Melt butter in a skillet over medium-low heat. Whisk in the flour. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes; whisking constantly. Sprinkle in black pepper and cayenne pepper. Slowly whisk in the milk until smooth and creamy.
Add the chopped beef and simmer for 3-5 minutes. Salt and pepper to taste. Serve over toasted bread, eggs, hash browns, or biscuits.

Notes

Cook the butter-flour mixture (roux) for 2-3 minutes, which helps to cook off the raw flour taste.
Slowly add your milk and whisk continuously until you have a smooth sauce.
If the sauce gets too thick, add less than a quarter of a cup of milk at a time until you reach your desired consistency.
Season to taste with salt, seasoned salt, fresh ground black pepper, cayenne pepper, and even a splash of Worcestershire Sauce.
Creamed Chipped Beef is best served promptly. Nonetheless, it reheats pretty well.
