Well the obvious answer is sandwiches, but I don't see why you can't make a cottage pie or bolognese sauce with the beef as a base, padded out with other things.
Have you got a mincer? You might be surprised at how much a few slices turns into. Or you can add cooked rice, or oatmeal, to spin it out. Depends how many the resulting meal has to feed, but most things can be stretched. Even a tin of baked beans will eke the meat out.
I haven't bogged off yet, and I ain't no babe

How about a stir fry?“A budget is telling your money where to go instead of wondering where it went.” - Dave Ramsey0

You could freeze the slices in gravy to have later, perhaps as a meal for 2, or chopped up and added to fried rice.Our days are happier when we give people a bit of our heart rather than a piece of our mind.

Cut meat into strips, place in tinfoil and heat in oven for about 10 mins. Serve in wraps/tortillas/pitta bread with salsa or spicy tomato sauce, salad, yoghourt and grated cheese.
I use any left over meat/mince for this one. If mince, just make sure that gravy is well reduced, otherwise tortilla will be rather leaky!
For vegetarians, left over quorn, tofu or veggie mince works great.0 -
tortilla idea sounds great

we used ours up today on a hot'n'spicy pizza.
I just made the bread base,covered it with puree and chilli pepper (powder) then put the beef on cut into small pieces and mixed in a green pepper cut up too. Melted the cheese on top at last minute.0 -

I use Delia's rissole recipe whenever we have left over meat. Chop up the meat an onion and a couple of slices of bread in a processor, add some salt pepper and nutmag. Bind together with an egg, mould into balls, then fry. Delicious! I did this with the leftover turkey, went down much better than curry! ;DI Believe in saving money!!!:T
