Leftover steak

[SeattleUte]

Never heat leftover steak. It's best eaten cold. Add some red leaf lettuce, ripe tomatoes, maybe some vidalia or bermuda onions (mild and not stinky) and a few blue cheese crumbles and sprinkle olive oil and balsamic vinegar on it and enjoy.

Today I had a whole leftover New York steak for lunch. I went to the Pike Street market and bought a small bagette at a French bakery (it was a gorgeous day). Then I went to our lunch room and got some sliced tomatos and bermuda onions and added shredded parmesian and doused with olive oil and balsamic vinegar. I put the whole mixture in one of those salad boxes and shook it. Then I cut the bagette so it made something like a pocket, leaving the far edge intact. I inserted the steak and heaped on the tomato onion mixture. It was delicious. I had a light dinner.

Sounds delish! Most of my leftover steak is turned into a steak salad the next day. There is just no good way to reheat a steak without making it tough as nails.

Cold steak is the shiz, but I will reheat in a broiler for about 5 minutes or so simply to melt away the coagulated juices.

You sandwich idea sounds amazingly delish.

The only problem is that to make the sandwich, you need to have a leftover NY steak. And I have never had a leftover NY steak. Ever.

Mmmmm. That sounds great.

You guys have an impressive lunch room with all of that goodness lying around for the taking. Our lunch room consists of a Keurig and k-cups, regular coffee maker, random boxes of crackers, a fridge full of paper bag lunches, and soda.

Other great uses of leftover steak include:
Easy fajitas
Broiled open-face steak sandwiches
Philly steak sandwiches
Salads

Most of them involve re-heating. Sorry.

I have no leftover steak. I pounded that 20oz slab of awesomeness.

It was the Delmonico Ribeye from Christophers Prime in SLC. First time I've eaten there and that particular steak was fantastic.

I like Christopher's.

I like to make au jus sandwiches when I have leftover prime rib. Get some nice french rolls and caramelize some onions. Add some horseradish sauce and dip in some hot Johnny's brand au jus.

Thin, thin slices of leftover strip loin on a leftover homemade roll, placed under the broiler until sizzling and topped with generous amounts of Jack cheese and some salt and pepper. The kids devoured them.
