Leftover Steak Recipes - 10 recipes ideas to use up leftover steak

We occasionally splurge and enjoy grilled steak.  While I might be able to set aside my frugality for one night to enjoy a nice steak dinner prepared by my husband, I cannot let any of the leftover steaks go to waste, so I create “encore meals” with leftover steak.

Are you wondering what to make with leftover steak? There are a lot of possibilities. If you have recipes that call for beef, you can often substitute leftover steaks. Below you will find a variety of leftover steak ideas including ways to use cooked steak for breakfast, lunch, and dinner.

    I came here looking for a recipe for my leftover steak but I didn’t find anything that really fit my tastebuds for tonight. I did, however, find a simple recipe elsewhere that I’m gonna end up trying tonight and I’d like to share it with you!!
    “I cut the cooked steak (or leftover roast) up in to bite size pieces and slice some taters. Fry the taters in shortening in a large skillet sprinkling them with garlic salt to your liking on each side while they’re cooking. Once the taters are cooked and lightly browned, drain the shortening, add the steak, add just a tiny bit more garlic salt, stir and turn all until steak is warm. Quick, easy and yummy 🙂 “

    Yum! I like your ideas for leftover steak. I use up leftover steak in fajitas, nachos, or chili. (Can you tell I really like Mexican food?!)

    We have leftover steak often. It’s actually pretty cheap at our tiny local store. A store where everything is expensive, but not the meat…. I don’t get it. lol Anyway, about a week ago I added it to scrambled eggs with mushrooms, asparagus, and then added a tiny bit of cream cheese towards the end to make it creamy. It was amazing. And I’ve saved your recipes on pinterest so I can try them out next time we have steak. 🙂

      I like caramelized onions and mushrooms with my steaks and had some of all left over recently. The next day I made an omelet with those ingredients and a bit of crumbled blue cheese for the filling. Fantastic!

    What is leftover steak? ;). I usually only cook 4 ounces of steak each as my husband doesn’t really go for leftover steak. However in the past I’ve used steak on salads (favorite) or used steak instead of chicken on a BBQ Steak tortilla pizza.

    PS the Fiesta Steak and Pasta Salad looks delicious!

Welcome. I'm Alea!

On Premeditated Leftovers I share simple recipes made with whole foods, practical shopping tips, time saving techniques, and meal planning strategies. I also share tips for minimizing food waste, so more of the food that is purchased ends up on the table.

While volunteering as a budget counselor, I realized that food is the element of most people’s budgets where they have the greatest control. I set out to develop low-cost recipes from scratch to prove it’s possible to create delicious meals on a limited budget. Eating well while spending less is about more than just creating recipes using inexpensive ingredients; it’s about creatively combining ingredients so you don’t feel deprived and are inspired to stick to your budget.
