Google really is your friend! ;-) I did a nice med-rare sirloin
tip roast in my rotisserie on Friday, but wasn't sure what to do
with the leftovers (they usually sit in the fridge until someone
throws them out). So I googled "leftover roast beef" and got
the suggestion of BBQ Beef Sandwiches. There was 13 oz. of beef
left; DH sliced it thin, then I poured a cup of bottled bbq-syle
sauce over it and let it marinate until Monday. I cooked it on
the stove low and slow, served it over toasted hamburger buns.
Not exactly gourmet, but there was enough for all three of us,
and was pretty tasty...

I always make lots of gravy with roast beef because I love
leftover beef in hot roast beef sandwiches, or variations
thereof, sometimes just sliced beef heated up in the gravy
with a side of fries. On the rare occasion that I have any
more left over after that, it is a cold roast beef sandwich.

The BBQ sauce is a great way to have the bones. Just
slather some BBQ sauce on some nice meaty leftover bones,
wrap in foil and heat up. They are delicious.

Would it work for you to make food in smaller quantities to begin with?
Since we decided to only cook enough for the meal at hand, I estimate
we've saved hundreds of dollars because we never have spoiled food to
throw out.

*Sigh I know, I know. I'm not good with leftovers -- 99% of the
time, they go into DH's lunch as is, so I rarely have to remake
them into another meal.

I'd love to eat leftover roast beef in a sandwich, but don't have
a meat slicer nor the knife skills to slice it nice and thin. When
I try that, I get a thick slab of beef that you can't bite through,
which ruins the sammich. In this case, I cooked it low and slow
in bottle BBQ-style sauce, and the slices, though thick, were quite
tender...

All you need is a SHARP knife! You have no idea how your life will
change after you invest in a good knife that you keep razor sharp at
all times.

Yep, stabbing will be so much easier, and that will definitely change your
life! <G>

Yeah, what she said! And once you get it, be patient and practice.

(But for a whole roast, I'd still like a meat slicer.)

I used an industrial sized meat slicer as a teenager, working at
a burger joint. I found out it's not good to bleed on the roast
beef.

Barbara is right, I need to learn to use a sharp knife. When I have
a few bucks to rub together, I need to invest in something decent...

To All:
We used to have a meat slicer to make beef dip sandwiches. Sure came
in handy.
