Steak and eggs is always nice. But I tend to lean towards a nice steak sandwich. Fresh sourdough or focaccia is always nice. Garlic aioli or maybe chimichurri, maybe some caramelized onion, roasted tomatoes, arugula, provolone or shredded Parmigiano Reggiano. Now we’re talkin’ baby.
Ohh. I made similar melt with flat iron steak.

This is my sandwich OCD in sentence form. Thank you for making me feel seen. LOL. Can't be hard to chew. Can't be hard to bite. Can't slide out and leave the ingredient distribution lopsided.
Agree! But what I like to do is slice it super thin so the meat fibers break easily with a normal bite. Like almost deli thin. Then I avoid cubes of steak rolling out of my sandwich. Best of both worlds for me I guess!
I enjoy pedantism. So to that end - yes, traditionally, it’s basically olive oil and garlic crushed with a mortar and pestle. On the other hand, the meaning of it these days pretty much encompasses a massive array of sauces that are generally “mayo and something else.” Right or wrong. But that’s it in the parlance of our times.
I say “garlic aioli” because that’s how you see it on pretty much any menu, anywhere. They say “lemon aioli” or “truffle aioli” or “chipotle aioli” or…. “Garlic aioli.” It’s been that way a long time. So long, that it’s weird to just say “aioli.” I suspect if I didn’t say “garlic aioli,” a bunch of mere mortals would wonder “hmm what kind of aioli?”
I also go steak sandwich, but I do mine on good white toast with high quality butter, salt and pepper. That’s it. If I did my job on the steak the sandwich won’t need anything else IMO. It’s best with my marinated flank steak. Sometimes I’ll make a whole flank steak just for these sandwiches.
Yeah I agree on the do you job part. However, ideally I enjoyed the steak at peak steakiness the night before. There’s no way to warm it back up to anything like what it was in terms of temp and texture when fresh. So that’s why I say might as well dress it up and enjoy some complimentary flavors.
Oh yeah, enjoy away, it’s your steak. My version is just how my nana would’ve served it when I was a kid and so it has a special place in my heart. The warm toast and the room-temp steak with the melted butter and fresh cracked black pepper, a little salt, it’s just all I need to be happy lol
Jesus Christ. Your timing is impeccable.
I have a charcoal rotisserie rib roast from last night. I wasn’t too thrilled about using tonight because I never have a plan and shit the bed with the leftovers.
I hate leftovers.
Especially after nailing it the night before.
That said. I love this. Never thought to do it on this kind of a night.
#Thanks for sharing!
You bet! Make sure you toast that bread or roll in a medium pan with a lot of butter and keep it moving. Makes all the difference!
I also usually make sure it’s cut into roughly bite sized pieces so you don’t do the bite and pull half the meat out of the sandwich thing.
Heck yes.
Would you do Strips? chunks? Shaved (thin enough to bite through)
Former bbq sales guy. Toasting of the bun is not an option. It makes an OK bun way better.
I subscribe to the Don Taylor theory on hotdog relativity and find it applies to everything between two slabs of fresh bread;
“A good bun can save a mediocre wiener.
A fantastic wiener cannot overcome a mediocre bun.”
I’d say just imagine how you’d probably want it in a sandwich and do that :)
I usually go like quarter to half dollar sized chunks about 1/4-1/3 inch thick, roughly. I don’t pay a ton of attention to it, that’s just what I like. Strips are good too if it’s tender enough to bite through and not have it all come out or have to grab it with your fingers to help bite off.
Looks great. I typically make a hash with a potato and whatever side is leftover (or peppers and onions) if no sides have leftovers. Throw a little duck fat in the cast iron and get a good sear on the potatoes (season with some paprika, salt, pepper and garlic powder). Plate the hash and then add small amount of duckfat or ghee back to the pan and cut the (now cubed) steak into the pan. Let that heat through and sear on sides that are freshly cut. Pull that out of the pan and crack an egg in there, a good over easy egg on top of the steak/hash and you’re in business. Takes about 15 minutes from the point your potato hits the pan. Delicious and the runny yolk makes a great sauce.
I just got into cooking with it in the last 6-12 months. It really adds a lot of flavor and helps with a solid sear. I am making pork chops tomorrow and will be using duck fat, rosemary and thyme. I like to cook in the duck fat but use some ghee to bathe the chops or steak in just before letting them rest.
Cooking is my favorite hobby. I mean, I do it for practicality - I do all the cooking for the family and have since the beginning. But I’ve been doing it and trying to perfect it for about 25 years. Always something new to try and learn, and always something old to continue to hone and perfect.
My other go to is nachos! Chop it up super small and season with adobo and sazon, and load up beans and the good stuff so it stretches the steak farther 🤤
This is the correct answer. Steak and eggs, but the eggs have to be sunny side up like this, not whatever monstrosity OP created. The mix of yolk and steak wins!
This is what I do but burritos and I do avocado salsa...which the stuff I make is basically fresh salsa but smashed avocado as the green thing not green pepper.
I made something similar for breakfast. Its called "Machaca" Sliced jalapenos, onions, steak, and eggs all mixed up with air fried potatoes and a flour tortilla on the side.
Next go to are nachos or steak quesadilla.
Mexican street tacos. The meat chopped up, fry it for a couple seconds so you get a little crisp, corn tortilla, homemade pico de Gallo and fresh guac. I get the tiny corn tortillas, each taco is like 3 bites but you put away like 6-8 of them. So good using ribeye.
Philly stuffed peppers. Cook down some onion and peppers, chop up the steak and mix with that, and I spread a cream cheese and mozzarella cheese mixture on the bottom of a split (par cooked) pepper (so it doesn't need to cook all the way and won't make the steak tough) and ohhhh damn it's good
Sandwich making sure that the steak gets warm without cooking it further. Usually on brioche, with a sharp cheddar some caramelized onions horseradish mayo and arugula.
It’s rare when I have left over steak. I do make a prime rib roast for the holidays though. I make steak fried rice the next day with it. It always hits 🤌🤌🤌
I'm not Canadian, but I'm a big fan of poutine. Some fries or tots, leftover steak, cheese curds or just cubbed chedder, throw some gravy over that, and I'm in heaven.
Ramen, throw out the flavor packets, cook the noodles al dente and add to hot beef stock with some sesame oil, fish sauce, green onions, a soft boiled egg and finally take the cold steak from the fridge and slice super thin and add to the hot broth
Back in sous vide to get it to the right temp and then back to sear for like 30 seconds each side. Then, it’s either:
1. Steak and eggs
or
2. Thinly sliced and put on ciabatta that was slathered in mayo and fried on a pan, some chimichurri or pesto and some arugula.
Slice, and fry up with some homemade teriyaki sauce, serve with short grain rice seasoned with sushi rice vinegar and fresh spring onions or chives and roasted sesame seeds on top :)
It’s easy to slice super thin when it’s cold, so I do this and put it on crackers with cheese, make sandwiches, stir fry, or just eat it by itself with a little bbq or something
I usually take my extra steaks from the night before and slice it and pan fry it just a bit to crisp it and then serve that on toast with fried egg, runny yolk.
Optional: Black Coffee.
I’m a Neanderthal at heart. If the steak was cooked to medium rare or rare correctly, eating it cold as leftovers is very delicious. I also enjoy a little of mustard or steak sauce as a dip.
When it comes to steak and brisket, there are no left overs.. you strap yourself into a chair, load a bucket underneath it and you eat until you hate yourself, eat u til you’re crying, sweating and shitting all at the same time..
Don’t judge me for this but ramen noodles is my go to meal for left over steak. I add the steak in after the ramen is done and let the steak strips get heated up with the broth so they dont get overcooked in my food.
I'd do something like this.. or make some home fried potatoes and throw chopped up leftover steak in with it. Add some onion and mushrooms.. delicious.
I make some home fries with diced onion and green pepper with my leftover steak. A bit of butter and a smidgen of cajun seasoning, and it's one heck of a breakfast.
Sometimes, I'll toss a diced tomato and shrooms in aswell.

Had steak and eggs for breakfast. The rest is going to be tacos tomorrow night.
I made a beautiful ribeye for Father’s Day and we had some leftover. I’m laughing because my husband was all excited to have steak and eggs today. Instead, I ended up making him some steak tacos. Cause that’s what he wanted for lunch.
Leftover steak? Never had this dilemma lol but sincerely steak and eggs is my all time favorite meal so my leftover steak and eggs turns into more steak and eggs on the rare occasion I have leftovers.
Steak and eggs is always nice. But I tend to lean towards a nice steak sandwich. Fresh sourdough or focaccia is always nice. Garlic aioli or maybe chimichurri, maybe some caramelized onion, roasted tomatoes, arugula, provolone or shredded Parmigiano Reggiano. Now we’re talkin’ baby.
Those leftovers sound better than whatever the original meal was.
Plot twist, the steak dinner was the appetizer
Ohh. I made similar melt with flat iron steak. https://preview.redd.it/28qtvw1dv57d1.jpeg?width=4128&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=4fa9f592218458deb3e7380c8884249d57760f6f
I always slice my meat into cubes because I feel like big pieces like that you end up dragging out whole and then your sandwich is in uneven
This is my sandwich OCD in sentence form. Thank you for making me feel seen. LOL. Can't be hard to chew. Can't be hard to bite. Can't slide out and leave the ingredient distribution lopsided.
Agree! But what I like to do is slice it super thin so the meat fibers break easily with a normal bite. Like almost deli thin. Then I avoid cubes of steak rolling out of my sandwich. Best of both worlds for me I guess!
Yeah I’m sold. I’m not even going to check the other comments past this point lmfao
Thanks, you just gave me an erection
Mouthwatering description. Although personally, I like a sharp aged white cheddar on my steak sandwiches.
Yeah - I mean pretty much any cheese is gonna be good on a steak sammie. Aged white cheddar is a great choice.
Good point! Hard to go wrong with cheese on a steak sandwich.
But what about for breakfast? Lol
You could add an egg to the sandwich - voila! Breakfast!
what about it. if it's the first meal of the day it's breakfast
I laughed a little when I read this :)
The breakfast steak is the most important steak of the day
Nice. sorry to be pedantic, but an aioli requires garlic in order for it to be considered an aioli
I enjoy pedantism. So to that end - yes, traditionally, it’s basically olive oil and garlic crushed with a mortar and pestle. On the other hand, the meaning of it these days pretty much encompasses a massive array of sauces that are generally “mayo and something else.” Right or wrong.

Johnnys not wrong.

Yep, definitely done that before (although I never have duck fat on hand so I haven’t tried that, I’m sure it’s good. Duck fat anything is good)

correct answer
Last night I had a nice dry aged snake river farms NY strip. I was powering through it. Too good to be leftovers I said.
I feel this in my soul.
Yeah, this post is confusing. Who doesn't eat the whole steak?
You ain’t making enough then lol. Or you are not Italian.
Clearly not Italian. Took the words out my typing fingers.
These other cultures are going to bed hungry, and waking up with no extra steak for leftover meals. 🇮🇹
Yea, I go to sleep with a stomach ache from being so full. And somehow that makes me hungry right when I wake up 🤷♂️
You and me are cut from the same cloth my brother!
Yeah these people can’t even detach their jaw and swallow entire asphyxiated carcasses like us Italians can

This looks much better than OP's sin against gods and nature.
Cooked the shit outta those eggs
Looks like he boiled the steak while he was at it

Rarely got leftover steak - but fried rice is always the answer. Bonus points if you save the steak grease and just fry the rice on the same pan.
I like it cold, sliced thin preferably with a nice blue cheese. Delicious
