Leftover Flank Steak?

Gigi said:

Anybody got any ideas of how to use it up? Last night I grilled a teriyaki marinated flank steak
and it turned out great. Problem is there was just 2 of us and I have a full half steak left over.
This is a common problem when I make flank steak and in the past I've sliced it thin for cold
sandwiches or dropped it in heated barbeque sauce for a hot sandwich on a French roll. Would sure
like to come up with an alternative. I always cook flank steak medium rare but in the past
reheating it seems to make it unbearably tough. Gigi

Thin slice leftover steak and toss it into crisp stir fried veggies. Continue stir frying just long
enough to heat the meat but not cook it further. Mmmmm, mmm...good stuff.

Slice it thinly and put it in a salad.

Slice it and throw it into one of those Thai rice noodle meals with some chopped green onions. If
you like Ramen, you can use that.

Thai Beef Salad

Salad:

1 lb thinly sliced cooked flank steak 6 cups (340g) red leaf lettuce, torn into pieces 1 cucumber,
peeled and sliced 1 tomato, cut into pieces 3 green onions, sliced diagonally
1/3 cup (10g) fresh mint leaves, chopped (optional)

Dressing:
2/3 cup (80mL) fresh lime juice
3/4 cup (9g) fresh cilantro leaves, chopped 2 Tbsp (20g) brown sugar 1 Tbsp (15mL) soy sauce, low
sodium 1 Tbsp (15mL) water 1 Tbsp (15mL) fish sauce, bottled 4 cloves garlic, minced 1 serrano
pepper, or red Thai pepper, seeded and minced

Combine dressing ingredients, mix well. Combine salad mixture, steak and dressing in a large bowl,
tossing to coat.

Stir fry! Beef with broccoli sounds like a plan 🙂

Enchiladas!

I was thinking fajitas, only with a different flavor. Wraps with thin slices of steak, salsa,
guacamole, cheese, sour cream, etc.

Or just warm the slices in heated teryaki sauce so as to take of the chill without really cooking
them or toughening them?

Marinate it in french dressing for a few hours, grill it, slice it thin across the grain, and serve
it on toast points with a nice demiglace sauce.

what about using it on a Caesar or taco salad?

Practice safe eating - always use condiments

Thank you all! What great ideas! Now I wish I had MORE leftover flank steak so
I could try every idea posted.

Breakfast, anyone? Slice it thin across the grain, fry a couple eggs, but the eggs on the plate,
get the skillet hot hot and dump the meat slices into the hot skillet for about20-30 seconds,
moving them around just to warm them and get the juices oozing. Don't overcook it! I'll bring a pot
of coffee.

I'd love to help, but I don't think we've ever HAD leftover flank. You could serve it sliced thinly
in a salad or quickly stir-fried with onions, peppers and mushrooms.

gloria p

Don't reheat for the reason you stated. Staying with the Asian theme, Slice it very thin and toss it
in a sesame oil/ peanut butter/ soy sauce/ white vinegar/ (sugar, salt, chile pepper, cilantro,
green onion, ginger, garlic to season) dressing a la Chinese chicken salad pour over lettuce,
sprouts, watercress, radishes, leftover cooked veggies etc. and garnish with slivered toasted
almonds, toasted sesame seeds, fried noodles, deep-fried rice noodles, well you get the idea.

The meat can be stretched with sautéed sliced tofu, slivered omelet, tiny cooked shrimp, or other
leftover meats.

For variety think Viet or Thai: a fish sauce, cilantro, lime, and chile dressing, chopped peanuts,
or a coconut, curry, fish sauce, chile dressing.

Accompany with a bowl of steaming egg drop or hot and sour soup.

Just last nite I made Taco's from flank steak. I cooked it like I would fajita's then sliced it all
thin. Cooked slow and the meat was so tender. If the meat is tough you cannot make a taco with it.
Well I don' like it that way.

Made the taco with tortilla lettuce tomato and flank steak. Best eatin I had in a while. I like
taco's like this better than with seasoned ground beef.

Oh forget to mention cooked a chicken breast the same way for chicken taco's.--- middle child will
not eat cow. nuthing to do with MCD!
