Chipped Beef

Once opened, store in an airtight container in the refrigerator.

Soak chipped beef in cool water for 15-30 minutes to rehydrate and remove excess salt before cooking.

Gently drain the beef after soaking to avoid breaking it up too much.

Chipped beef is very salty, so adjust the salt in your recipe accordingly.

Not rehydrating chipped beef before cooking, which can result in a tough, overly salty texture.

Over-rinsing or over-soaking the beef, which can wash away too much flavor.

Adding too much salt to the final dish without tasting first due to the beef's inherent saltiness.
