Any ideas for left over Roast Beef?

Debbie555 — Tue, 17 Mar 2015 13:02:39 GMT

I have a large piece left, over half and besides a cold sandwich or what I usually do a hot roast beef sandwich, any ideas that are different? I hate wasting food. Thanks!

Beef and noodles? If you don't have any gravy, use jarred beef gravy. That stuff is pretty good.

Hash? Fry some potatoes and when the potatoes are 99% done, add the roast beef that is cut into bite sized chunks. If you have some carrots from the roast, add them at the same time you do the roast.

Beef salad.. Chop it up fine, onion, pickle relish, mayo, salt, pepper.

Grind it up and make some hash. Good recipes abound via Google. Enjoy.

I make soup. 2 parts chopped onion, 1 part carrots and celery. "Sweat" these veggies for about 10 minutes in a little oil, add cubed beef, one part beef stock, one part tomato or V8 juice, a bay leaf, salt and pepper to taste and simmer for about an hour. I also add a can of green or wax beans. You can add cooked, cubed potatoes, but I like to add orzo that's been cooked (don't add the orzo to the soup to be boiled as it will thicken it too much-I put the orzo in the soup bowl then add the soup).

Slice the roast beef very thin and place the slices in some hot gravy.

Toast a few slices of bread and place the roast beef with some of the gravy over the toasted slices.

Add some hot garlic mashed potatoes, and string beans to the plate, and you will have made a Hot Open Face Roast Beef entree which costs over $22.00 per order in many restaurants.

This is truly a delicious way to use the leftover roast beef, or you can just make open roast beef sandwiches with no sides.

I love this . It's so delicious on a toasted hoagie roll or English muffin with melted cheese under the broiler.

Chimichangas are always my favorite thing to do with extra roast. Shred it and add some cheese and salsa and roll in a flour tortilla and fry. These also freeze well.

Got flour tortillas? then try Burritos, quesadillas, soft tacos... Enchiladas, but I like corn tortillas for those- slice it into strips and use it in stir fry, lo mein, beef fried rice, ramen - chop it up add some tomato sauce, green olives, onion and raisins and make empanadas..

Along the lines of what Adore said, make a Kentucky hot brown substituting the beef for turkey...

You could make beef barbeque out of it. Just shred, add your own special homemade bbq sauce or your favorite from the store. Put it on a big bun with some cole slaw and there you go. Maybe come chips, fries or onion rings on the side.

Saute some onions with mushrooms.....slice the RB really, really thin (if you have a slicer even better).

Use a piece of bread of your choice...pile on the RB....add the mushrooms and onions then top with cheese of your choice...stick under the broiler til it melts to your liking.

Yes, this is so good, esp. on sourdough bread.Or a lettuce wrap.

Soup. I like to put pulled beef in my vegetable soup. Use vegetables of choice. If you have broth you can use some or all of that too.

Aside from sandwiches, I make tacos, burritos, or quesadillas out of left over beef/steak. I recently charcoal grilled four steaks, two for dinner, and the other two I froze individually specifically for future tacos, etc., because they will have the great flavor, and all I have to do is to thaw, cut into small chunks, and stir fry in a cast iron pan briefly so as not to overcook it.

Thanks for all the great ideas! I don't normally have this much roast beef left over. Maybe enough for another meal of hot open roast beef or a sandwich or two. Wow, can I freeze cooked roast beef?

My first thoughts would be BBQ, as I love beef BBQ. Yes, you can wrap this meat well and freeze it. When I freeze beef, I do so with the thought I will use it for vegetable soup, as at that point it needs to be in a dish with other ingredients where the focus is not so much on the meat.

Me too. Beef vegetable soup is really good. I save all the leftover pieces of beef in the freezer and the broth and then make a huge pot of soup.

I usually always do veggie beef w/barley soup with my leftover RB. I always like to do French Dip sandwich. Get some yummy rolls, make the sandwiches with what you like. I use mayo, provolone cheese, and S&P. Wrap in foil and warm in an oven for a bit. If I don't have any au jus from when I made my roast, I buy the packet in the spice aisle.

I don't do much beef anymore, but one thing I used to do was make a beef stroganoff with leftover roast, etc.
