If last night's steak was nice and tender, and there's enough left over,
slice it thin and make a bit of beef Stroganoff. Yum.

I had leftover rib roast just the other night:

Slice *very* thinly, and simmer in home-made BBQ sauce. (I used this
recipe, substituting apple cider for the water.)

http://www.cooks.com/rec/view/0,1715...228205,00.html

Dish it out on crusty rolls, and top with shredded cheddar cheese,
shaved red onion, and thinly sliced sweet peppers.

I had mine on a lettuce wrap because I do low-carb. Husband thought
the leftovers were better than the original roast.

Maybe that is why my favorite use for leftover steak is an omelet. Dice it
up and add whatever veggies are on hand that would work. A little cheese
and it is great. Steak and eggs in a fluffy mixture!!

Later,

Nah. Well, only at certain phases of the moon (and I don't even have to
eat steak)...

Had a test, thanks. Nothing wrong with my glucose levels.

And I'm not the only one that's noticed the steak/hungry thing - couple
of friends told me the same thing. One explanation I heard was that
steak is very high in protein (and maybe fat, depending on which steak
you've eaten) which is quite a bit of work to
digest/synthesize/whatever, hence the body's need to make up for it the
next day. Or something along those lines. Dunno. I still like my steak
and having a nice hearty breakfast the next morning hasn't killed me
yet ;-)

I think that would depend on whose beef, how much effort you expended
tenderizing, and how much gravy you consumed. LOL

Do you mean a steak n' eggs battle breakfast serviced in bed... nah,
ain't gonna kill ya... but you'll be kinda wobbly legged all the next
day. hehe

Burgundy beef, if I have some mushrooms in the house. I try to keep a
bag of frozen pearl onions for this too.

As much as I've looked, I've never been able to find frozen pearl
onions. All I can find are fresh and jarred.

I found them in the freezer section recently at our local store. I have
some in my freezer at the moment. :-) They were kinda hidden on the top
shelf amongst other more unusual frozen veggies such as Edamame.

You really deserve a thwap for that remark - but it made me laugh
anyway, so I'll let you off this time round ;-)

For steak I'll use the leftovers for fajitas or a beef broccoli
stirfry.

they seem to come and go for some odd reason. birds eye does package them
in a bag, very handy. perhaps you could ask your store manager to get
some.
