Beef Roast Leftovers

I never know what to do with leftover beef roast. We end up eating it with mashed potatoes and gravy and then the rest of the roast sits in the fridge until I throw it out.  HELP Stick out tongue

We always have left over beef. I do the following: Beef & Noddles, Shepards Pie or beef pot pie. I always save the juice/broth that the roast was cooked in and freeze it and the beef untill I have nough to make veg. soup. Do you want recipes?

I usually make mine into spaghetti. I cut up the roast saute it in olive oil, then saute minced onion and garlic,add tomato paste and seasonings. let simmer until sauce thickens. also I have cut it up and made BBQ sandwiches. put it in a pan with BBQ sauce add some water simmer to let the beef get the flavor. serve on hamberger buns, or open face on french bread.

I like to buy a large roast so that I do have leftovers to make beef buns (Baron of Beef Sandwiches).    Just thinly slice the left over beef, load up some nice fresh sub buns, make up a package of Au Jus  or OXO's French Dip for dipping.   Served with a salad this makes a great meal..... quick, too.

I chop mine up and use the broth it was cooked in as a soup starter.  Add cooked elbow macoroni, can tomato sauce, onion, and vegetable of your choice.  Sometimes I use rice in place of macoroni or canned canellini beans or whatever canned beans I have on hand.

I say keep it and the juices, you cook it in the same pot the day after and chop the meat up to smaller pieces re-heat to make a nice soup add more oxo to it and fresh veggies and some noodles of your choice - You can even freeze it for those colder months but be carefull how long you have it sitting around!


Once the meat is cooked you can re-freeze it in smaller portions for the quick late night snack.

Do what you can with what you have!
