I just re-heated steak in the microwave and

[vi edit]

As for me and left over steak, I'll usually thin slice it and do a quick pan cook in some butter and toss in with sautee'd veggies to make a fajita or use some yogurt & dill to make a Greek style wrap with a pita.

put barbecue sauce on it.

Deal with it.

+1 for the fajita

Also ok for a steak sandwich.

I keep seeing this phrase "leftover steak" but don't understand what it is referring to; it's almost like people are saying that they cooked steak at some point but did not eat it all?!?

Sad thing is you can prepare a TON of things well with a microwave if you actually know how to use it and can grasp all the different settings.

Yup. My korean gf would have a huge bag of galpi(ribs) that she'd make and the heat them up in the microwave to eat them throughout the week. I live by Koreatown and despite being microwaved, it's up there with the best. Just don't cook them with the microwave.

CHEEKAN! GOOD!

You poor pathetic soul.

slice it up, put it in a sammich with toasted bread and just a little mayo. No excess cooking required.

:thumbsup: That is good too. Try a little horseradish instead of mayo. Yum!

Eggs are also good with leftover steak, cook a couple eggs over medium and put them right on top of thinly sliced steak or poached on English muffins with a slice of tomato and provolone... super yum! :biggrin:

I've never warmed up a steak in a microwave, but I imagine if you do it at 40-60% or something it would come out fine.

30% max, and let the steak rest at room temp for at least 30 minutes beforehand. I find heating at 20-30% until desired temp and then 20-30 seconds on high to finish off a reheat works well. Also, for grilled chicken breast, I find grilling it until the outside is to the desired doneness and then nuking for 30-60 seconds on HIGH to get the internal temp to the desired temp works well while keeping the chicken moist and tender.

with uncooked chicken?

that sounds nifty--I may have to try that. Though, after using my Anova to cook Chicken breast, I don't think I can ever go back to anything else. 😀

No, no! Yuck! Grilled chicken. Grill the outside until you get the doneness you want and then finish the chicken breast in the microwave until internal temp is 165.

Anova sounds like <3

yeah but that's basically what you're ding, right? using the microwave as part of the prep--though it sounds like you are doing more of the cooking on the grill than I originally thought.

I guess the trick is to not ruin the texture of the meat, which is what happens when people nuke it.
