Step 1
Melt butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add flour, stir constantly for 1 minute until light golden.

Whisk in milk slowly until no lumps remain. Add shredded beef, salt, and pepper. Stir until thick paste forms, ~2 minutes.

Spread beef mixture on a plate and refrigerate while you prepare to fry, about 3 minutes.
Step 4
Shape mixture into 4 logs (about 3 inches long). Roll each in panko until fully coated.
