CREAMED DRIED BEEF SERVES 4 This is an old family recipe my mother used to make for my father. She claims that it is an old Pennsylvania Dutch recipe. We know it was also served when my father was in the army, but it was named, in the abbreviated form, 'SOS'. I have also heard it called creamed chipped beef. It's really quite good, although everyone in the family wanted it more often than I. Dried beef is quite salty due to the drying process, but it has a very good flavor. Serve this for breakfast, brunch, lunch or a quick and easy dinner. INGREDIENTS 2 tablespoons canola or other cooking oil 1/2 pound thinly sliced dried beef, cut into 1-inch strips 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour 4 to 5 cups milk Pepper to taste Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the dried beef and sauté until lightly browned, about 5 minutes. Reduce heat to medium-low; add the flour and cook for about 5 minutes, stirring often to combine with the oil. Gradually whisk in the milk; cook until thickened, about another 5 to 10 minutes. Sprinkle with pepper. Serve over toast slices or with biscuits. I prefer adding cheese slices on the toast that melt slighty when topped with the hot beef mixture.
