Chipped Beef on Toast

Chipped Beef on Toast

(6 servings)

Ingredients:

2 tbsp. Unsalted Butter

1 tbsp. All-Purpose Flour

1 tbsp. Fresh Garlic, minced

½ tbsp. Fresh Rosemary, chopped

1 large Shallot, minced

6 cups Heavy Cream

½ tsp. Salt

1tsp. Black Pepper

3 pkg. (3 oz. ea.) Dried Beef, chopped

12 slices Sourdough Bread, toasted

3 tsp. Fresh Parsley, chopped

Directions:

In a small saucepan, melt 1 tbsp. butter over medium heat and then add flour.  Cook, stirring, until mixture begins to turn light brown (about 4 minutes).  Set aside.  In a large saucepan, melt remaining butter over medium heat.  Add and cook garlic, rosemary and shallots until shallots are translucent.  Add cream and bring to a boil.  Now add the butter/flour mixture, reduce heat and simmer for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally.  Add salt and pepper and then stain through small mess strainer.  Add the dried beef and bring back to a boil.  Serve immediately over 2 slices of toasted sourdough per serving.  Garnish each serving with parsley.

Notes:              Sub cooked crumbled ground beef or sausage for the dried beef if you like.  Figure a pound and a half precooked for this recipe.
