creamed chipped beef recipe With Paprika Parsley Sprinkle

Description
This classic creamed chipped beef recipe with paprika and parsley is a comforting, family-friendly meal, perfect for a quick dinner or cozy weekend brunch. It features thinly sliced chipped beef in a rich, creamy sauce, served over biscuits or toast.
Ingredients
- 6 oz dried, sliced chipped beef
- 4 Tbsp unsalted butter
- 4 Tbsp all-purpose flour
- 2 cups whole milk
- 1 tsp paprika, sweet or smoked
- 2 Tbsp fresh parsley, finely chopped
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Prep the Beef: If your chipped beef is very salty, give it a quick rinse under cold water and pat dry thoroughly with paper towels. Chop or shred it into bite-sized pieces for easier eating.
- Melt and Bloom: In a 10-inch skillet over medium heat, melt 4 tablespoons of butter until shimmering. Stir in 1 teaspoon of paprika and cook for 30 seconds, stirring constantly, until the spice becomes fragrant.
- Make the Roux: Whisk in 4 tablespoons of all-purpose flour. Cook, stirring constantly, for 1-2 minutes until a thick paste forms and it smells slightly nutty, turning a pale golden color. (If your roux develops lumps, remove from heat and whisk vigorously until smooth before proceeding.)
- Add Milk: Gradually whisk in 2 cups of milk, a little at a time, ensuring no lumps form. Continue whisking gently as the sauce heats and begins to thicken, which usually takes 5-7 minutes.
- Simmer and Combine: Bring the sauce to a gentle simmer, just until bubbles appear, then reduce heat to low. Stir in the chopped chipped beef and let it warm through, about 2-3 minutes, until fully incorporated.
- Season and Serve: Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Always taste first, as chipped beef can be quite salty. Stir in 2 tablespoons of fresh chopped parsley just before serving, making sure it’s evenly distributed.
Notes
To prevent lumps and speed thickening, warm the milk slightly before adding it to the roux. For a one-pan workflow, use a single large skillet. Always taste before adding salt, as chipped beef can be quite salty.
