what to do with cooked, flavoured steak?

a few weeks ago i was lucky enoough to hit asda at exactly the right time and got loads of bargins :D one such bargin (20p) was loads of seperate 'off cut' packs of the cooked steak they use on meat feast pizzas, i tasted it before putting it in the freezer and i think its a sort of tikka, indian flavour.
i would like to use it in a proper meal but other than curry cant think what to put it with. its ready cooked and chopped into little bits.......any ideas??

thanks, vix

    you could make a savoury rice with it - just fry up an onion, a pepper, some chopped celery, carrots and any other bits of veg you fancy, add a mug of rice, two mugs of stock and the meat bits and season to taste (you could add a bit of curry/chilli powder if you want). Cook until all the water has absorbed and you have a nice savoury rice dish. Or you could make your own french bread pizza - just split a french stick in half and cut into 6" lengths, top with tinned chopped tomatoes, herbs, cheese and the meat bits and bake for 20 minutes.

    What about using it in a fajita type meal? Cooked (heated?) meat with sour cream, guacamole, salsa etc. in wraps? Or an indian style fajita thing with parathas, chutney, raita, indian spiced salsa etc?
