Are there any childhood recipes you still find yourself craving? For me, chipped beef on toast is one of those nostalgic favorites. It’s definitely not fancy, nor the healthiest option, but I absolutely love it. Growing up, my parents often made this comforting dish, and it has always been one of my go-to breakfasts. Since it’s indulgent, I usually only make it once a year—typically on my birthday.
What Is Chipped Beef?
Chipped beef is thinly sliced, salted, and dried beef. Historically, it was a reliable protein source for travelers on the Overland Trail during the mid-1800s.
Also known as dried beef, it’s commonly made from lean cuts like beef round. The meat is brined, cured for several days, then drained and air-dried. Some varieties are smoked during drying, adding a smoky depth of flavor.
