Any suggestions on how to give my delicious leftovers new life? (I had it cooked medium rare and it was cooked as such) Thanks! Sun May 17 07:26:16 -0700 2009 113759 CurlieGlamourGirlie 1 4691149 My standard approach: slice thinly, prepare any spicy dipping sauce or hot mustard; eat cold with hot, plain rice.

I would top some spring greens, add some blue cheese chunks, tomatoes and toss with a vinaigrette.

I find it doesn't overcook them too much beyond the reheating, while reheating them nicely. The slices are great over rice, over salad, accompanying any leftover potatoes or side dishes, or just straight out of the pan.

Just because I love spicy food does not mean I want my entire face to liquefy at the table so this is a somewhat less spicy version of the infamous Thai salad. I start with a bed of finely shredded savoy cabbage, shredded red cabbage, shredded carrot, sprouts, coriander and thai basil. Then slice your leftover filet and arrange it on top (you can make a delicious salad from raw beef by marinating it and grilling it but you need to use up leftovers) Then I make a dressing of fish sauce, lime juice, palm sugar, half a sliced thai bird chile, a little sriracha, a few drops of sesame oil, ginger, a little lemongrass, lime zest and galangal. This is excellent on a hot day. Mon May 18 06:03:24 -0700 2009 4691109 19937 Kater 1 4698224 Thanks for all the suggestions! I wound up doling it out over 3 days of salad! Paired it with arugula, radishes, goat cheese and pistachios with balsamic vinegar! Tue May 19 14:17:43 -0700 2009 4691109 113759 CurlieGlamourGirlie
