    Having just eaten our sunday roast, we've got an amount of roast beef left over. I know this sound like a pretty stupid question (I should know :o) but what can I do with the remaining beef? Neither OH or myself want it in sandwiches.

    Past leftover meat has, (embarassed to say :o), been thrown in our little compost bin. I know, I know.

    We don't have pets so I can't give it to them.

    Any ideas?

    Thanks, Birdy

    Mince it up if you can and make a cottage pie with a chopped onion and some chopped carrots and gravy topped with creamy cheesy mashed potatos Yummy

    I too mince mine, add cooked carrot and onion mix with the left over sunday gravy, then top with mash potatoes. Cottage pie yummy.

    I had roast beef today and I always make sure there is some left over. :D


    You could also make rissoles. Minced beef mixed with mashed potato, made into rissoles and fried in a little oil.

    Cottage pie--
    Stick it in the blender with an onion and use it instead of mince. So start the same by gently frying before adding veg and stock. I do this with lamb and it tastes better than mince. (jane fearnly whittingstall "good granny cookbook" 's method)

    Man versus food inspired --- stew it up in bisto gravy (other cheaper granules are available:D) and then pull it out and chuck in a bun. (If you wish to go extreme you may dip the completed bun in the gravy lol)

    I'd personally eat it cold with some mustard mash - but then we always get two meals out of a roast.

    Go the traditional route.

    Cold on Monday,
    Chopped on Tuesday,
    Pie (Shepherd’s) on Wednesday.”
