Ingredients:
1 packDried beef (I use
Budding's)
2 tbspButter or margarine
2 tbspFlour
1 cupMilk*
Salt (it won't need much)
White pepper to taste
1 pinchDry mustard
Procedures:
1*(for a more authentic military flavor, use canned evaporated milk) remove the beef from the package, and tear into shreds.
2Melt the butter, and briefly saute the beef in the butter (it should just become slightly crispy).
3Add the flour, and stir until the whole mess congeals slightly and begins to look a little like wet beach sand (do not brown the flour).
4Stir in the milk, and whisk until smooth.
5Season to taste with salt, pepper, and dry mustard.
6Simmer briefly until thickened and all the floury taste is removed.
7Serve over mashed potatoes, rice, biscuits or toast.
8Note: for a better, but distinctly non-military version of this dish, toss in a couple of generous handfuls of grated cheddar cheese, and a few grains of cayenne pepper.
