Where's the beef? Part 2

Jun 28, 2012 18:03

Sorry for the avalanche of posts. I've been doing a good bit of cooking and taking pictures and am now trying to clear the memory card in my camera.

Re-purposing leftovers into new and exciting dishes can be a fun challenge. I started out with half a New York Strip steak and a bake potato from the bbq and ended up with this.

Gorgeous sandwich! (Not to mention the potatoes!). I think I'm getting seriously hungry.... Sissi (http://www.withaglass.com)

Thank you so much. The strawberry mousse you made looks so tempting but I'm really in the mood for sorbet right now. That reminds me, I have to go downstairs and put the canister in the freezer right NOW!!

What a creative way to use left overs Maria. My mom had an amazing recipe for potatoes that would work with your leftovers too...she cubed them, just like you did, added a good splash of chicken stock and about a tablespoon of paprika. I think she may have had a diced onion in it too. It was so delicious!

I'm sure the chicken stock is a much healthier way of reheating the potatoes than using butter or oil, maybe a combination of the two would be even better, but I rarely have just a bit of stock on hand when I want to do this. And I always have butter and oil around. :) Plus it helps with the browning.

The potatoes look crispy outside and I love it. I'm such a big potato fan and very picky about how it's cooked. This is nice! Sandwich looks delicious too!

Thank you. It's a fast dish as I bake the unpeeled potatoes in the microwave til tender inside and then finish them off in a frying pan. It was all very tasty.
