    I slice it and freeze it, then when we next fancy a beef dinner I defrost it and stick it in the slow cooker with some gravy. I did that this week we had some on Sunday and there's enough sliced in the freezer for another meal.

    Mince it and use in another meal - then OK can't complain about the texture

  • I'd slice it and freeze it in some gravy in single portions that way you've got a roast beef dinner ready meal waiting for you ;)

    Yup, and it's how you can buy it in the supermarkets too if you think about it, so bound to be ok ;)
  • If you still need an idea for the leftover beef (or lamb, or chicken), try this...
    I would fry a little chopped onion in some oil, add a little cumin or cinnammon.
    Cut up the beef into small pieces and add to the pan, and fry until crisp.
    Put into a wrap for a quick, tasty sharwarma.

    I do this alot as a fill up for the kids when they come home from school. You can add some hummous and chopped salad too.
