Ideas for leftover beef pot roast?

[wicket]

Hello all! I roasted a beef for Easter dinner that turned out soooooo yummy. Now I'm left with some leftover meat and was wondering if any of you have any good recipes for leftover beef? Thanks in advance :) :hi:

1. what I don't use for sammiches, I make beef stew or strongonoff with

depending on how tender it is, stew for a chuck, strogonoff for the more tender cuts

also if I have taters left over too, I do a cottage/shepard's pie (Mr.K's favorite!)

let me know if you need any recipes for the above

2. It's a chuck roast

And I would *love* your stew recipe, thanks for the great ideas! :)

4. TEoA gave you a great stew recipe just below

add a bay leaf, some Lowrey's Seasoned Salt or Mrs. Dash, some basil, garlic, lots of cracked black pepper, some Worchestershire sauce, a dash of soy sauce, adjust as needed


if you have the juice from the roast, use it for a roux of flour to start or do some corn starch and water at the end to thicken or grate a potato into it

3. Soup

Throw it in a pot with some spicy V-8 juice, celery, potatoes, onion, and carrots. You can add can of broth if you'd like as well. Add a little pasta at the end. Yummmmmm.

Spicy V-8 really makes a great soup base! I add a little Better than Bouillion or broth to enrich it a tad. Great Product!

5. mmmm....love that Better Than Bouillon

I find excuses to use it just so I can lick the spoon. Ha!

18. Sounds great

I use the bouillon cubes, sounds like I'll be making the switch! :D

10. Thanks, Empress. Never tried the V 8, but it sounds great.

Will give it a try.

12. I'm going to have to try that, thanks!

:D

6. I might make beef and barley soup

Or I might make BBQ beef sandwiches by simmering slices of the meat in a good BBQ sauce and then serving on some good rolls, maybe with coleslaw right in the sandwich too.

13. MMMM...BBQ beef sandwiches are soooooo good

I made some in my crockpot a couple of weeks ago, and let the meat simmer in the sauce all day, soooooooo good :D

7. I like hot beef sandwiches

Beef sliced thin, served open face over whole wheat or rye bread with green beans and mashed potato on the side.

14. Sounds delicious!

Thanks :D

8. Shepherd's pie is easy and filling

just mix the roast chunks with peas carrots, cubed potatoes, the leftover gravy and top with a pastry crust (or mashed potatoes if you don;t want to make pastry..bake it and YUMM

[wicket]

15. I love making it with mashed potatoes instead of the pastry

So the potatoes get nice and crispy, soooooo good :yum:

9. slightly different soup recipe

cut up the leftover meat; trim off any extra fat
dice potatoes carrots and celery
add onion and garlic
simmer in a pot of water with a can of beef broth added (don't forget to add all you leftover pan juice/gravy/dripping, fat skimmed of course

Let this simmer until potatoes are tender, then add:

frozen corn maybe a cup or cup & 1/2
frozen peas maybe a cup
canned diced tomatoes
zuchinni or yellow squash is nice
frozen or canned or leftover green beans
can of mushrooms if you like them
let this cook a bit to blend the flavors and then add some finely chopped cabbage.1/4 to 1/2 a head depending on the size of your soup batch. Cook until the cabbage is just tender.

Serve with corn bread. YUM

16. Mmmmmm....sounds heavenly

Thanks for the great recipe ideas :D

17. Thank-you all for your ideas

I ended up making beef stew, and it came out sooooooo good! Thank-you all for your great recipes and tips. I only really got into cooking in the past year or 2, so I'm still pretty much a novice and sometimes have a hard time trying to figure out what to do with leftovers, now I have a lot of ideas thanks to all of my friends at DU! :toast:
