SOS - MILITARY STYLE



SOS - military style image

Growing up we had this often with a salad,or fresh cooked veggies (my fave with it was fresh peas)My mom used dried chipped beef. Considering the economy now compared to then lean ground beef is just as tasty. If you'd like you could use dried beef - about 6 - 8 ounces, no need to brown dried beef.

SOS -- "STUFF" ON A SHINGLE



Sos --

After being wounded in Italy in 1944, my grandfather returned home and improvised a dish he was often served in the military. The Army called it "Chipped Beef on Toast". The soldiers called it Something (I can't mention here) On a Shingle, and in classic military tradition, that name was reduced to SOS. My grandfather taught this recipe to my dad, who, in turn, also taught it to my mother and me. My mother, who is offended by the idea of having the first "S" of SOS on her table, calls it Creamed Beef on Toast. All measures are approximate. Because of this, the recipe multiplies well. Heck, you could make enough to feed an army. ;-)

Categories     < 60 Mins

Time 35m

Yield 3 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 lb ground beef
3/4 cup flour
1 medium onion, medium dice
1 teaspoon minced garlic
1 1/2 cups milk, any grade you like but the richer the milk, the richer the gravy
salt & pepper (to taste)
dry toast

Steps:

  • Combine ground beef, onion and garlic on a large skillet or pot, and brown the beef.
  • Once the beef is browned and your onions clear, add the flour. There are two important things to note here - (1) Do not drain the beef (2) Add enough flour to completely absorb all the liquid in the pan.
  • Once all fluid is absorbed by the flour and you have a nice roux, add your milk. Again, remember that the measures are approximate. So, you want to add about twice as much milk as flour.
  • *Do not be afraid of adding too much milk. If you do, you will just have to cook it for longer in the next step, but the flavor will reward you for your efforts.
  • Season with salt and pepper and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and slowly cook away the fluid, stirring often, until you have a nice thick milk gravy.
  • Spoon generous amounts over dry toast (like an open-faced sandwich) and enjoy.
  • We never have it with a salad or veggies, but they would go well this dish.
