Key Ingredients

ingredients for creamed chipped beef

Beef – There are two ways to go here: jarred dried beef or freshly shaved beef. I’ve done both but jarred dried beef is INCREDIBLY salty, so I don’t recommend it. If you really want to use it, I highly suggest rinsing and soaking the beef pieces in hot water several times. The amount of sodium in jarred beef is insane. Go with shaved beef steak (also perfect for slow-cooker Italian beef sandwiches, slow cooker Phillies and these Cajun cheesesteak sammies.)

Texas Toast – I really like creamed chipped beef on cheesy Texas Toast. The cheese layer is delicious and acts as an excellent barrier for the sauce, so the toast doesn’t get mushy.

How to make creamed chipped beef from scratch

STEP 1: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Chop beef steak and add to skillet. Mix in salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and thyme and saute until beef is cooked. This will only take a few minutes since beef is thin. Remove beef from skillet; set aside and keep warm.

STEP 2: Meanwhile, bake Texas toast in the oven according to package directions. Melt butter in the skillet, then whisk in flour, cooking for a minute. Slowly add milk, whisking continuously, and then add the black pepper and cayenne. Let the mixture cook until it reaches a thickened gravy consistency. Add beef back in and heat through.

Creamed Chipped Beef on Toast Recipe FAQ

Why is creamed chipped beef called SOS?

Chipped beef on toast is sometimes called sos on toast (s*it on a shingle,) a slang term American soldiers used during World War II.

Is chipped beef the same as dried beef?

Yep – very thin slices of salted, pressed, dried beef (but not as dry and chewy as beef jerky). It’s usually sold in jars or pouches.

Do I have to use dried beef?

No! Please don’t. (Too salty.) I promise if you follow my recipe using freshly shaved beef, you will love it so much more.

What to serve with creamed chipped beef

Serve creamed chipped beef on toast (thickly sliced Texas Toast is especially yummy), eggs, biscuits, English muffins, scrambled eggs or baked potatoes.

    The recipe is improperly titled. Creamed chipped beef consists of dried beef slices in a white sauce or gravy. What you are cooking here is referred to as “SOS” where ground or chopped beef is cooked in a beef gravy.
    Both of these dishes have maritime roots, and as a ten-year Navy veteran who spent many months on temporary duty assigned to the galley, I can assure you that you are not the only landlubber to make this error.
