What to do with excess cooked beef?

[skeggysteve]

Wife got a joint that was to big so we now have a plate full of cooked. sliced beef in the fridge.

So, apart from sandwiches, what can we do with it?

BTW I don't like Indian or pasta!

Chrispy chilly beef?

Cut into strips - all sorts of chinese Beef dishes.

Hash. Bung some into a food processor. Whizz. Mash into mashed potato. Make little cakes of it. Into oven to crisp up the outside or into a frying pan to brown the outside.

Sandwiches, of course, are superb.

Sew the slices of beef onto a white hooded sheet in a camouflage pattern, for an overcoat that will make one truly invisible amidst a heard of cows; Flog coat to gypos for use in their undercover milking raids, buy a new (smaller) beef with the proceeds.

Alternatively, re-mince the beef in a blender with 2 eggs and one tablespoon of cement powder, build baby morph sized genuine cow ornaments, bake in kiln for 3 hours, place on mantelpiece once cooled.

I really like that idea. What herbs/spices do you think I could put in?

Good idea, thanks.

shred it or chop it, then fry it with mixed spice, onion and garlic, it makes a winning filling for burritos/that sortating.

Mob,

Whatever it is that you are 'using' I'd, respectfully suggest that you refrain

I posted and didn't expect many replies so quickly. Now I've got to many ideas

[Sheets Tabuer]

you just need some soy sauce, honey, rice wine, sugar, and chili paste or you can cheat and buy sweet chili sauce.

I am currently doing a hash with left-over leg of lamb. I fried some red-onion and mashed that into the mashed potato and whizzed lamb-meat. Today's take on the idea was to spread the mix flat in a dish and top with some parmesan and bake to brown the top...

...but you can do allsorts. You could mash in a little mustard, or some thyme or - whatever you have to hand, really.

Mate, you posted at a meal time!

My dinner is in the oven, and I am currently disgesting my own stomach lining in anticipation!

"Bitterballen"

A Dutch bar-snack, but you can make them at home. It is a bit of a hassle, but they freeze well so just make lots of them! Basically shredded left-over beef (or chicken), a roux, breadcrumbed (freeze at this stage), and then deepfried.

Harumph...

Chop it up, bung into a pot with some grated potato and carrots, fried onion, garlic, courgette/butternut, tomatoes, rosemary & oregano, pearly barley and half a stock cube for some home made soup
