Use Beef Leftovers
In the late summer and early fall, the weather is perfect for spending time outdoors. The last thing you want to do is spend hours cooking! And, you might also want to save money by utilizing leftovers. Research shows beef demand is highly dependent on convenience and nutrition; so here are a few tips to help you save time and money.
You can cook once and have enough beef for two meals...Grilling a couple extra steaks while cooking dinner can make preparation for breakfast and lunch the next day a breeze!
And, here are a few checkoff-funded recipe pairs for dinner and breakfast or dinner and lunch:
1. Prepare the Pepper Beef Steak with Garlic-Cilantro Butter and have the Breakfast Beef Burritos for breakfast the next day. Both recipes use beef round tip center steaks. Prepare 8 oz. extra when cooking for the pepper beef steak, and you’ll be that much closer to a delicious breakfast!
2. Cook two pounds of beef round tip steaks. Use one pound for a delicious Sesame Soy Beef Stir-Fry dinner and the other pound for a lunch of Beef Taco Wraps.
Don't Forget Food Safety!
Food safety is important to keep in mind when utilizing leftovers. The way food is stored, the time and temperature it reaches and the way it is served are all important to ensure food safety.
