I think it is difficult to get good results in the oven or stovetop.
And the microwave will destroy it.

I got this tip from another food site.for when you want to reheat
leftover beef but still maintain the same level of doneness, e.g.,
medium-rare, as much as possible. The original post was intended for
leftover standing rib roast but I found that it also works well for
leftover steak and other beef just as well.

Wrap the leftover rib roast (or other beef) twice in plastic wrap,
then once in aluminum foil, then place it into the steamer. The length
of time will depend on the portion size.

This is the perfect job for a microwave oven, but if you won't have a
microwave oven, reheating roast beef can be done in a pan over low heat
with enough gravy to cover the meat.

On the contrary, a microwave oven is a great way to reheat roast beef.
You slice the roast beef and then just nuke on the 50% power setting for
a minute or two. The meat will not dry out by reheating this way.
Reheating on 100% power would probably dry out roast beef, but not 50%
power for a minute or two.

The MW will only destroy it if you are careless. Use a medium power setting
for the proper time and it will be perfect. Depending on the thickness, the
time may be 1 1/2 to 3 minutes. I do it all the time with excellent
results. You are re-heating, not cooking the damned thing. I do it on rib
roasts and it is as pink as it came off the rotisserie or from the oven.

In my experience, reheated meat as you describe is never as good as before.
If it's at all possible, cook it when you need it.

Your experience is different from mine. I have actually done this in
the MW exactly as you describe. I found that even when the meat is
barely reheated and retains the same pinkness, there is a notceable
change in the flavor.

Restaurant secret.

Wrap the meat in a layer of lettuce leaves. Mike it for maybe 20
seconds. Turn it over and do it again. See how it feels to you. If it
needs more heat, repeat, but be warned that the more times you do it,
the more cooked it will become.

One alternative is to vacuum seal the meat using something like a
FoodSaver (www.tilia.com). The meat reheats nicely in the bag in the
microwave or in a pot of hot water.

If you are cooking for later, you might pull the meat a bit underdone to
allow for reheating. Also, reheating may work better with a gravy or
BBQ sauce. Or eat the leftovers cold in sandwiches or something like a
Thai beef salad. Or put it into pho, or pasta sauce.
