A delightful and creamy dried beef gravy recipe with enhanced flavors and a touch of modern flair.
Melt the butter in a skillet over medium heat.
Ensure the butter doesn't brown for a smooth gravy.
Add the flour to the melted butter and whisk until smooth.
Cook the roux for a minute to remove the raw flour taste.
Gradually pour in the milk while whisking continuously to avoid lumps.
Warm the milk slightly before adding for a smoother consistency.
Stir in the black pepper and nutmeg, adjusting to taste.
Taste the gravy and adjust the seasoning as needed.
Add the dried beef pieces to the gravy and stir until heated through.
Tear the beef into bite-sized pieces for even distribution.
Serve the gravy hot over your choice of bread, biscuits, or mashed potatoes.
Garnish with a sprinkle of fresh parsley for a pop of color.
