Left Over Steak Ideas...

[Abelman]

Well, last week I fired up the BGE and Vortex and did some excellent Tri-Tip steaks.

I made some extra just so that we had some leftovers so I could make some sandwiches and try Snarlingiron's Steak Soup:

First the soup. I followed his directions and made a slight change. I aded about 1Tbl of fresh diced jalapenos to the mix just cause we like heat around here. I was expecting it to be much richer based on his account so I must have missed something. Anyway, it was still excellent. Here's the process:







And dinner with some toasted and buttered potato rolls:



It was quit good. The kids loved it and went to town and soaking it up with the bread. My wife added some grated sharp cheddar and really enjoyed it. Her suggestion was to add some noodles to it next time.




With the other steak, my son requested a simple recipe my dad taught me years ago, a steak sandwich. The trick to this one is that it is served cold.

I lightly toast some Italian sandwich bread. When it's cool, spread some butter on each side. In the meantime, some simple ketchup and horseradish mix. Throw on the steak and enjoy. It's so simple yet so good.





and some relaxing with a beer and the game:



I know having left over steak is a rarity for most but you might consider grilling a little extra next time as you're missing out on some quick and delicious food.

Thanks for looking.

Great use of leftovers and it all looks wonderful, Pete! So many great uses for steak leftovers!

Looks excellent. I like the jalapenos in the soup and also the cheese and nothing beats a good steak sandwich. Since it is only me and my better half, we usually have leftover steak, but it never goes to waste.

Thanks, couldn't have done it without you .

The steak sandwich was more of an after thought and I threw it in just cause my boy requested them.

Since I'm the only beef eater here...I often have leftovers from a big steak. (Why cook a little one? )I typically save the next to bone rare stuff for just such things. I DO gotta get on that steak soup... that looked great...

Many times when we have leftover steak, we will make Steak Fajitas paired with a homemade chimichurri sauce.

Chimichurri sauce:
6-7 Tomatillos
2 Jalapeno or Serano chilis
1 lime (which will take the juice and the zest)
bunch of cilantro
6-7 gloves of garlic
1 Tblsp Salt and Pepper to taste
1 Tblsp Cracked Black Pepper
1/2 teaspoon cumin
1/2 Tblsp dried basil or 1 Tblsp fresh basil
1/2 cup good oil (more if needed to thin the mix)

Put it all in a blender and puree.

Very seldom do I have leftover steak. Leftover beef cuts I have now and then... I'm thinking that's applicable to this I'm sure. Especially brisket.

I usually go with nachos, tacos, fajitas, etc for steak leftovers. The Snarlingiron's Steak Soup looks interesting.

Nice!

I really like that gig!

Oh yeah. Great use of the leftovers. Sandwich sounds great. Saw SI's soup recipe too. Thought it might be good with leftover tri tip.

I don't usually have leftover steak. Even with the tri tip steaks. Usually only cook a couple for myself. Now a whole tri tip or larger cuts of beef.......Always looking for ideas.

Last night Tanya and I had rib-eye with barkonbutts 9 hour burgundy mushrooms (which are awesomely delicious by the way...). Anyways for dinner today I chopped up some leftover rib-eye and mushrooms and added a little cheese for an omelet.
