This nostalgic dish is having a resurgence. Cream chipped beef was made popular in the military for it’s hearty, filling, ‘stick to your ribs’ appeal. The concept started taking hold outside of the barracks and cream chipped beef eventually made its way into homes and diners. The dried beef is rehydrated in the creamy gravy base, seasoned with black pepper and cayenne, and then spooned over thick slices of butter toasted bread. A light sprinkling of fresh herbs (parsley and scallions) adds a bit of color and herbaceous pop to the final dish. Dried beef can be found at most grocers, usually found with the other breakfast meats.
