Steak Ideas

Last week, I wrote a post asking you what to do with a leftover steak. Check it out here.

I got a really great response with some fantastic ideas and I wanted to make sure you saw it. I’ve included the “meat” of the comment here (yes, pun intended!): 

A leftover piece of steak like that wouldn’t be all that much trouble to warm back up, but it’s really more fun to think outside of the box. From your photo I see a couple of quick and easy dishes.

1.) Steak fajitas – warm the steak back up while sauteing onions and peppers
2.) Steak salad with some sort of blue cheese, chipotle, southwestern, name your favorite dressing
3.) If it’s a tender cut, you could slice it very thin and place it into some beef gravy or drippings, warming it back up and placing it into a sandwich. French dip? Hot beef sandwich?
4.) Steak and eggs?
5.) Steak quesadilla
6.) Hash

So, thank you, friend! I LOVE these ideas — especially the steak quesadilla and hash. Good thoughts!

Check out Wolfgang Puck’s steak quesadillas here . . .

Don’t these look exquisite? Wolfgang apparently thinks you’re on to something here.

Keep your ideas coming and I’ll share them with EVERYONE!

Almost Time to Give Dad His Fill of Beef

So, this Father’s Day I am having a family reunion of sorts and we are grillin’ steaks in honor of the fathers in the family.

What dad wouldn’t want to be celebrated with juicy beef?

Well, I don’t know any. At least I’m not related to any.

So here’s a great big HAPPY FATHER’S DAY to all you dads this weekend. We count on you for a lot — you deserve to be celebrated!

Steak in the Fridge — Now What?

What do you do when you look in the refrigerator and see this . . . . . . . . . ???

Or, maybe you NEVER have leftover steaks. THAT would make more sense.

But, on the off chance you do ever have some leftover goodness, what do you do with it?

We’ve talked about the go-to favorite steak sandwich. And you can never go wrong there. But what else do you make?

Salads? Fajitas?

What???

Tell me your secrets — I wanna know!
