I now use garlic salt, butter, and evaporated milk.

In the Navy, dried chipped beef came in a frozen 5- or 10-pound block (I forget which). We'd drop it in a steam kettle of boiling water to leach out the salt, and then stir the meat into a Béchamel. We rarely added salt! The chipped beef was shaved as you described.'Round the Chuckboxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14986737631678120373noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10632672.post-17892318309067039642012-12-23T07:24:24.044-08:002012-12-23T07:24:24.044-08:00My mom used to make a version of that for us a lot...My mom used to make a version of that for us a lot when we were kids and poor...she used dried beef, and called it dried beef gravy. The dried beef came cooked and sliced very thin like if you got some prosciutto sliced thin from the deli and jammed in a small glass with a metal lid. Probably more like a super thin beef jerky. It was very cheap and very salty so you almost had to make some gravy (basic white sauce or roux with milk) to tone it down. After a few times it also meant you had a small set of glasses to drink from. I think armour still makes it that way and there is a small row of stars around the top of the glass.
