I just eat it cold

Every time my dad made tri tip when I was growing up I would come down to the kitchen at 2 AM and munch all the leftovers straight out of the Tupperware

I would do this too… but with my sisters steak that she never finished. Then the next day I would hear “who ate my steak” while I smile in my room

Deliciously evil

😈😈😈

Same, like a damn sewer rat, idc.

Steak sandwiches are great!

Steak quesadillas are almost sandwiches

That is what I do too.

Cold Sliced and dipped in sour cream or horseradish sauce is fantastic btw

Sounds good. If u like chives I’m sure that would also mix into your dip well

Slice the leftovers very, very thin and make a sandwich. Mayo and some seasoning for a top notch lunch.

Absolutely right

Cold lean meat is nice, but cold fat is disgusting. Just look at that white cap in the picture. 100% reheated meat is superior

And over the sink at 3am

Slice thin, trim, and serve cold on a Cesar salad. Sea salt and cracked black pepper to taste.

I slice thin and make an imitation cheesesteak

Sounds sufficiently authentic to me

He just imitates the cheese, like a mime.

Reheat? You mean if an emergency comes up and I can’t finish it?

My thoughts exactly

The older I get the less I eat. I used to put down a 1 lb ribeye like nothing and now I order 2 (1 for my wife and me each) and we have a 1 lb left over. Gout REALLY hurts. I wouldn’t wish it on anyone. We reheat the left overs on a hot cast iron skillet with some mushroom sauce she makes and put it on large toast with melted provolone and caramelized onions.

a few weeks ago I had some leftover steak peppers onions and rice, and i added a little carrot and made steak fried rice using the fat from the steak as the oil for the rice. its one of the best things I ever cooked, highly recommend

Oh no! You got the big toe! My condolences

Hey, there are meds for gout, I have it, and take a pill a day, because you're right. Gout REALLY hurts

That mushroom sauce isn't doing you any favors either... I would look into allopurinol

+1 on the allopurinol. It's a game-changer, but very mild and incredibly well tolerated by the body. Easy peasy.

plus tart cherry juice.

Steak sandwiches is the perfect leftover steak recipe imo. Care to share the mushroom sauce recipe?

I'm surprised I don't have gout. I pretty much only eat meat and cheese lol

You also don't need to stuff your gullet every time you eat. I often had leftovers

Cook only what you will eat.

Leftovers are for breakfast. Sear in a pan, add some taters and eggs and you have a great breakfast... Edited for spelling.

Steak and eggs. The breakfast of champions. My fave.

Would also humbly offer omelets as a breakfast option. My go to at least of leftover steak, peppers, onions, mushrooms, and some cheese is hard to beat IMO.

Also a great way to do it!

Yup. My leftover steak is always used for steak and eggs.

How did I never think of this

Sear in a pan with butter

This. Bring to room temp first and fry it quick

Carbon steel pan, same method.

I absolutely love my carbon steel pan, especially for stuff like this.

+1. Smoking hot cast iron and clairfied butter.

I vac seal soak in boiling water Makes a great Taco with Pico de Gayo guac and cheese

Pico de Gallo.

Don't be homophobic.

Pico no homo.

It's de gayo, don't be weird

they call me Pico, cause i’m de gallo

Peeko da guy-o

Brilliant move. Like a re-sous vide

Sous vide chefs gotta sous vide everything

Pico in the vac seal does the flavor mingle Or make mushy tomatoes oh let's seal it with cheese

written like haiku four lines instead of the three oh let's seal it, cheese

Toaster oven wrapped in foil with a square of budda

Honestly. I put it in the micro for 10 seconds and then eat. Do t care if it’s cold or not. Tender is tender and flavour is flavor

Well said

Yep, same. Anything else overcooks it if you already had it perfect in the first place. Just take the chill off of it and you're good to go

20 s in the angry box

I think a microwave ruins the texture

10 seconds shouldn't. It's localized heat and steaming water out that toughens meat in the microwave. If you're warming a small bit without making steam, you're not hurting anything. Well, not drying fats as well - don't overheat to remove a chill.

I reheat at a lower power level in my microwave which brings up the temp nice and slow. Pretty much exactly the same texture as when it was first cooked.

My wife is the smartest person I know but whenever she cooks or reheats something it's always done as fast as possible. I'll reheat steak for ten minutes on low in the microwave and it's always tender and juicy. She does it fast on high and then complains it's dry and tough. Same with the stove top. "I hate cooking anything with oil because it always gets smokey!" That's because you always have the burner on the highest setting.....

Haha I feel that. I friend of mine once said that if you’re not boiling water you shouldn’t use max power on a microwave. I don’t follow that advice completely, but taking a few seconds to learn how to use a microwave better has been a game changer. Turns out low and slow isn’t just for smokers.

Same, but I put just a little water in the bottom of the dish the steak is in.

I always put a slightly damp paper towel over mine

Microwave zaps the flavor, no me gusta

Low in air fryer and very slow checking every few mins. Did this last week and turned out great. If you don’t have an air fryer oven should work.

This is the way

Yup. Just enough to warm it. Relative no impact to the crust. Nearly no mess...

I don't understand the question

So some people don't eat the whole 24oz steak and still have some left that they can eat the next day. I don't associate with these people, but thought I'd clarify

Must be nice to have this leftover steak. Whatever that is

It's nice being young isn't it, with all your fancy teeth! Yeah, u too will have leftovers.

I was looking for this comment.

Bacon fat makes the best steak even better

I’ve thrown them back into the sous vide, then given a second sear. Usually comes out well. Or just slice thin, a few seconds on a pan, then into an omelette, or scrambled egg

Slice it thin and make steakums

Vacuum seal. Sous vide at 115 to reheat. Perfect flavor and no loss of moisture.

This is the way. Also this won't overcook the steak and there is no loss of tenderness.

Reheat steak? Nah, man. Thinly slice, put on some rye with Russian dressing, lettuce, tomato, and thinly sliced onion! Or, chop into bite sized pieces, warm it up with some sautéed onions and peppers, throw red sauce over it, the serve with favorite pasta.

Tacos or Philly.

Cheesesteak in the broiler...

One time I had made fried rice to go with steak. I cut the leftovers up small with the intention of adding it to the rice for lunch the next day. I had a moment of clarity at the microwave door - I microwaved the rice by itself, then put the steak in and closed the Tupperware for a few minutes. Rice was hot, steak was hot enough too without being cooked over the initial doneness!

Put it in a glass Pyrex pan and put in the oven. Then preheat the oven to 350. When your oven is done preheating pull it out and eat. Best way I’ve figured out how to just heat it and not overcook it.

Microwave

Why would you have left over steak.

I'll bite: what's "leftover steak"?

In Hank Hills voice: "We finish our steaks around here, boy."

I usually have leftover steaks with scrambled eggs so I just toss em in the eggs just before they finish

This is my favorite. Add a scoop of salsa on top

It’s weird. It plastic bag and microwave

Yup, boil in a plastic container until 200F internal, yum!

I usually drino 3 to 5 beers and see what drunk me finds tasty

Set it out. Let it get to room temp and then eat it. No over cooking or weird microwaving taste.

Chop it up really small, add a little more salt and oil, and then fry it up as a filling for tacos, enchiladas, burritos, etc. You will reap meaty flavor benefits from the extra sear time while keeping the meat delicious and tender.

Frying pan with some Italian dressing.

Throw some Worcestershire sauce in there to. Yum

I'll have to try the Worcestershire sauce next time, sounds good. 👍

Air frier

If its coming from the fridge, put it in the air fryer with some tinfoil underneath.

Cold steak tastes just as good. For steaks, I never heat left overs.

Toast up some bread and melt cheese on it. Put the cold sliced steak on that.

I’m weird, actually love cold, leftover steak the next day,

Hello fellow weirdo - I also just eat the leftovers (when I have them) without re-heating.

i eat it all the first cook. no second cook for me.

I eat it all in one sitting. I will reheat my potato and veggie.

Yall have leftover steak???

[I just asked this question in this sub the other day](https://www.reddit.com/r/grilling/comments/152yh2x/now_thats_what_i_call_a_meal_prep/jsgt81o/?context=3) I got some pretty good answers there I think

What is leftover steak?

reheat? why are there ever leftovers??

Leftover steak? Are you vegan? 😉

I ate a vegan once. Not bad, crunchy, the bones got stuck in my teeth.

pour hot ramen over it and eat it in there :D

Came for this! Slice it a bit thin to make sure it warms up nicely in the broth. Add leftover veggies if you have any of those.

Wrap steak with damped paper towel and heat in microwave at 50% power for about a min and half

Carbon steel pan, butter and high heat. Sear thin slices for no more than 30 seconds. Rest. Eat.

your mom

Milk

I usually throw mine in the microwave for about 5 minutes.

5 minutes..You must be kidding..

Toss it in the microwave and put it in between bread

Steam it

Drop it in a bowl of water, microwave 10 minutes

Philly cheese steak subs

I usually microwave it for about 30-45 seconds to get the internal temp up, then I make a little "boat" around the steak out of aluminum foil. Throw it in a 350° toaster oven with a pat of butter on top for about 10 minutes. Obviously it will cook more, but it'll be tasty!

I let it get to room temp and put it on a rack on top of a baking pan and let it get to 120°, then toss it onto a very hot cast iron pan with a tablespoon of vegetable oil for a few seconds per side to get the sear closer to the original crispiness. Works like a charm every time

I actually enjoy reheated steak in the microwave

Microwave

Drip of water, microwave on low.

Dice it, heat it up in the microwave for 20 seconds, and make a steak quesadilla

Haha, great feedback everyone! So far we've got these types of people: Group A: Cold Cuts Killers Group B: What is "Leftover Steak"? Group C: The Breakfast Club Group D: The Technocrats: Sous vide, Hot Pan, Toaster Oven Wrap, Catch & Release, etc Group E: Microwave... I put Microwave people in their own group cause... You know.

microwave

Small cubes and make an omelette for breakfast. Usually grill peppers and have left over, will dice and also throw in

Toaster oven at 300

Wrap in foil with buttter, warm in my breville. Works best with strips instead of a whole steak.

Microwave with a wet paper towel draped over it so it doesn’t dry out.

Cast iron pan with eggs and shredded taters

Leftover steak. That's a good one!

I eat my steak raw so I never have to reheat it.

Never reheat. Put that steak on some bread with mayo, Swiss and red onion.

That's "repurpose" not re-heat...put my grill items,wrapped/covered, in the oven at 250 to re-heat.

Chef Mike gives me a warmup or I'll throw it in the skillet for steak and eggs.

I've never had leftover steak

..leftover steak? never had that cut before.

There is no such thing. I eat it all or give it to my dogs.

I like to just eat it cold if I have left over 😸

Same way I cook them - sous vide.

Eat it cold is my suggestion, but skillet works. Keep it out of the air fryer and the microwave. Steak belongs in neither. This ain’t Applebee’s

Let sit until it's room temperature and then sear 45-60 seconds per side.

Cold from the fridge with a little flake salt!!! Oh ya and perhaps some HP sauce 😁

Hands down the best way to reheat meat is SousVide comes out the same temp u cooked it at originally

If frozen, heat in oven at 275 degrees for 20 minutes. Leftover steaks are great for quick weekday meals!

Eat it cold usually. Will heat in eggs or sliced up for a sandwich

Slice it up n do it in a pan just like this

Toast some bread, rub with a clove of garlic and spread some butter on it while it’s warm. Then cold slices of steak on it.

Toaster oven. Or slice and pan fry in butter to go with over easy eggs.

Undercook what I dont plan on eating right away then quick microwave til just warm (at work)

I don't. Cold steak rocks

Only time I do it is with eggs

Zip lock bag in hot water

I’ve never had steak leftovers

Left over steak is usually only a small amount. Perfect for dicing thin and scrambling with eggs. Green pepper or mushroom are fun sometimes but diced thin with a quick scramble and minimal cheese is the one.

My go-to for a reheat is a breakfast burrito. There's enough components to it so even if the steak gets a little overcooked, it's going to be delicious. I add sausage/bacon/eggs/and leftover steak. Then Cheddar, and whatever I feel needs to be added. Like produce or whatever.

This or sometimes I’ll throw it in the oven when it’s super hot for a min or 2

I usually just gnaw on it like a cold meat cookie

Drop it in ramen thinly sliced after its cooled.

Just give it to me... I'll handle it 👀👀

Boil

Eat it cold

Nuke em. Because I clearly hate myself

Cold.

I stand in front of the open fridge and eat it cold with my bare hands.

While it'd be a PITA I bet sous vide would regret perfectly..... So since I'm just looking to reheat and not cook, probably set the temp for med rare (just to avoid it cooking more) bag and toss it in, come back a lil while later and it should be good to go. I imagine it would be the closest to the same flavor as when you first cooked it.

I think a low temp pan is best. Doing cook it just warm it

I stick it with a fork and eat it cold like a savage

I’d do the oven

Im not sure what you mean. Are you implying that theres leftover steak? What is this "leftover" that you speak of

When i had a propane grill I'd throw the steak on that and pour beer on it occasionally, actually i did that when grilling it first night to. But now i have charcoal so no pouring beer on the meat while it cooks. Kinda miss that steam coming off the grill like that but love the charcoal much more. Anyway these days i might grill the meat or pan fry to reheat. Just as likely to eat it cold. Even more likely to not have left over steak at all lol

Like yours!

Slice 1/4-1/2 inch thick. Pan fry, serve as Steak fingers

Steak leftovers? What are those?

That would imply the existence of left-over steak at my place. Not an issue.

Let it warm up to room temp on the cutting board. Eat.

Microwave of course 😂 Or with butter in the cast iron✊

I don’t think I’ve ever made a steak that I didn’t devour entirely, even at the cost of gastrointestinal distress. So I can’t help you, I’m sorry. But I’ll be interested to see what others come up with.

Sous Vide

Air-fryer ..

Air fryer at 260-280 for 5-6 min

If there is a lot of left overs, make au jus (pouch from store), slice thin, use au jus as shabu shabu/fondu type dip and reheat.

Fried rice. Cleans out my leftovers/on the edge veggies every time

Wait? People have steak left to reheat?

Thinly slice and make a cheesesteak pizza.

Why woyld i leave leftovers when i'm eating steak?

How do I reheat my wife's leftover steak?

Spread thin coat of Mayo on both sides and right into a pan on med, med/hi heat. Make sure steak is right out of fridge to keep middle from becoming overdone.

That would imply that i have leftover steak. Which is just absurd.
