What to do with leftover Steak

Leftover steak...isn't everyone's favorite. It is especially true if it's already cooked to its doneness. I try to cook my steak on medium rare, in case we have leftovers and it won't taste so bad after reheating. There are, however, many other dishes you can reuse for leftover steak besides eating it the same way again. I have made myself a steak salad the very next day at work (unfortunately no pictures).

Contiue on my Flat Out bread. I made myself a Steak Wrap the next night with leftover steak, lettuce, avocadoes, and sundried tomaotes. I didn't want to add any more calories but typically you would want to put light ranch dressing.

Alternatively, you can make yourself a phillycheese steak using leftover steak as well. I've made this previously so I'm going to post a pic here.

Cut a hoagie roll in half, place thinly sliced leftover steak, top with sauteed onions & mushrooms and swiss cheese. It's really fast and simple!

My last leftover steak, per Mr. P's request, was made into steak and eggs last night for his "late night" dinner at 10pm. He has recently gotten a gift of a bottle of BBQ sauce of his favorite Budweiser beer so I drizzle the sauce over the steak. That bottle of BBQ sauce sure smells like beer! He said it's good....but then again, anything with BBQ sauce is good with him. so...who knows!

Flat Bread Creations

Flat Breads are everywhere! So I thought maybe i should try incorporate different sandwich options for my diet.

"Whack-a-tuna"
Guacamole Tuna Sandwich with Sundried tomatoes

I wanted to make a tuna sandwich, but didn't want the mayo. I thought about making tuna with slices of avocado but instead, thought of something abit more extreme. Guacamole. I heard it somewhere, about 10 years ago, that guacamole is pronounced "wa-ka-mole-e" because "GUA" is pronounced "WA". But the first time I share my guacamole with my coworkers several years ago, they stopped me and said "how do you pronounce it? Wakamole? HAHAHAHA" I got laughed at and they think I have a problem pronouncing it. I told them I heard it someplace but they didn't believe me!!

Anyway, that's why I called it "Whack-a-Tuna" because i mixed guacamole with tuna and I pronounce "gua" as "wa". It might seem odd, don't believe I have seen anyone mixing tuna with guac before, but it tastes pretty good. I figured, tuna is fish, goes well with lemon juice which is in the guac, and tuna goes well with onions, and we eat tuna sandwich with tomatoes. So....why not use guac? so i did. and topped it with sundried tomatoes. End result was that I didn't taste the guac, because the tuna's flavor was too strong. I dunno if it's because I was hungry, or the sundried tomatoes made it taste good, but it was good.

"Avocado Sundried Tomatoes Pesto Sandwich"

This was actually really really good. I spread the bottom of the flat bread with pesto then top with fresh slices of avocados and chopped sundried tomatoes. It was REALLY GOOD! better than the Whack-a-Tuna. :)

Chicken Pesto Pizza with Mushrooms and Sundried Tomatoes

I purchased some premade pizza crust from Mama Mary's at the grocery store awhile ago. I made some pizza with the 12" but haven't used the 7" ones. I have always make pepperoni pizzas with olives and mushrooms, since 'lil P likes it. But since he already ate, I decided to make a pesto one for myself and Mr. P.

premade pizza crusts (or make your own)
Pesto
Precook chicken strips (chopped)
Sundried tomatoes (chopped)
mushrooms (sliced)
garlic (minced)
Mozzerella cheese (shredded)

Making pizza is not about measurements, as long as you have a fair share amount of everything...at least that's what I think.

Layering order:

Spread Pesto sauce generously on top of the pizza crust.
Add in mozzerella cheese
Then chicken pieces
Then Sundried tomatoes
Then mushrooms
Then garlic
Top with more cheese

Pop it into the oven at 425 degrees (or following baking direction from the premade crust package) until mozzerella cheese puffs and turning brown.

Serve!

Sundried tomato herb dip

I bought a huge tub of sour cream from Costco and didn't want to go to waste. So I decided to make a dip that includes sundried tomatoes, without the heavy calories of cream cheese.

6 pieces of sundried tomatoes

2 garlic cloves

3/4 cups of sour cream

2 tsp basil

2 tsp oregeno

1 tsp parsley

place sundried tomatoes and garlic cloves into food processor, pulse until finely chopped. Add in sour cream, basil, oregeno, and parsley and continue to pulse. Use a spoon to push down the white sour cream from the side to make sure all content is mixed well. Should be light orange color. place mixture into a dipping container with lid. Refrigerate overnight and serve with biscuits or as i prefered, Triscuits (original or flavored).
