Ways to Use Leftover Grilled Beef
Oh, how I love those leftovers. Aren't they great? The leftover meals… You can do so much with them as your second meal. In fact, sometimes the second time around might end up more tasty and delicious than the original. This list of Leftover Steak Recipes is absolutely worth saving.
I mean, all of us end up with tons of leftovers after steak night. You don't have to eat it same way the next day. Try it in your breakfast with steak and eggs, or pile it high in your salad bowls, make pizzas, tacos, nachos, quesadillas… Make hearty soups and chilis, have it in pastas and casseroles. There is much, much more in this collection of fabulous leftover steak ideas.
Leftover steak refrigerates well for 3-4 days in an airtight container. So you can plan and cook so many different delicious meals.
There are several methods to reheat the leftover steak, but reheating it in the oven seems like it gives the best results without overcooking. Place leftover steaks on a wire rack set in a rimmed baking sheet and warm it on the middle rack of a 250 degree oven until the steaks register 110 degrees (roughly 30 minutes for 11⁄2 inch thick steaks, but timing will vary according to thickness and size). You are ready to eat it in salads or in tacos, or it's ready to go in all of these delicious leftover recipes.
We are starting this list with something that will please your crowd. These supreme nachos are fully loaded with all sorts of goodies. These sheet pan baked nachos are full of leftover steak, rice, beans, cheese, lettuce, salsa, avocado, and cilantro. Perfect for get togethers or a good start for your Mexican night.
