I love using left over food in a next occasion. It is such a shame to throw away food, and in my country is has also a different reason. Food here on our island is damn expensive! Everything has to be imported by plane of ship and of course that drives up the price. So because of the price but also because of the fact that I hate to throw away stuff is try to use left overs in a different way.
Momma always said: eat your meat, an animal died for that
Earlier in the week we had a big fat barbecue at home and since we were just eating then with two people, of course we had left overs. So today we used some left over pieces of smokey steak to make a steak and cheese sandwich on a bagel.
We chopped the left over steak into small pieces and chopped some shallot and scallion.
We fried these pieces of steak in some vegetable oil in a ridiculous hot frying pan, adding some soy sauce and some sweet soy sauce. Toss in the scallion and shallot and give it some heat for a bit (not too long otherwise your meat will be super tough)
Drape this mixture on a bagel / sandwich / baguette, whatever you have in your house (These are just frozen bagels, cheap in the supermarket here)
Put on some slices of cheese of any kind. And add some salad if you want. I'm super proud of these pieces of lettuce because they are from my own garden!! Read here all about my own little garden
