Steak Salad
Print Options
Steak salad is such an easy and delicious thing to make with leftover steak. At a minimum it is simply slices of steak over salad greens with your preferred salad dressing. I tend to spiff mine up a bit with whatever we might have on hand - walnuts, goat cheese, pomegranate seeds, kumquats, etc. Arugula is a particularly good complement to steak, though the pepperiness of the arugula can at times be a little too much if not mixed in with some other salad greens.

I completely agree. I like my steak rare, so reheating it just tends to overcook it. Using it on a salad allows me to stretch what little I have left over and tastes great!
