Instructions
In a large sauce pan over medium heat, melt the butter.
Add the flour to the melted butter. Stir to combine. Allow the mixture to warm over the heat for 1-2 minutes.
Start pouring in the milk, a little at a time, stirring after each addition to prevent lumps.
When all of the milk is added, continue stirring until the sauce thickens. You're looking for a thick gravy texture.
Stir in beef and salt and pepper to taste. Continue cooking for 1-2 minutes, until roast beef is heated through.
Serve warm over toast.

Notes
Nutrition facts do not include bread/toast and will depend on the type used.
Cheese - If you're using cheese, add slowly after sauce has thickened, stirring until it's completely melted and incorporated.
Meat - chipped beef is traditionally used, but deli meat such as ham or roast beef can also be used.
Storage - Store covered in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Reheat sauce on the stovetop to prevent separation (You can reheat on the microwave but the sauce may separate and have a different consistency).
