Add the beef:
Stir in the sliced dried beef and let simmer for another 2–3 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
Season and serve:
Add black pepper to taste (go light on salt — the beef is already salty). Spoon the hot creamed beef over slices of toasted bread. Garnish with parsley or a pinch of paprika, if desired.
Serving Suggestions
While traditionally served over plain white toast, feel free to get creative:
Use buttered sourdough or English muffins for extra texture.
Serve alongside fried or poached eggs for a hearty breakfast.
Pair with roasted potatoes or sautéed greens for a fuller meal.
