Leftover Roast Beef

There are so many great ways to enjoy leftover roast beef. Try out one of these ideas

Quick Beef and Barley Soup

This hearty soup is easy to make with leftover pot roast or oven roast beef.

Beef and Fine Cheddar Wraps

By adding cashews, pepper jelly and watercress to these Beef 'n Fine Cheddar Wraps, your lunch bag looks soooo grown up! And the Canadian beef and aged Cheddar combination the recipe uses it makes them soooo good for you. Use very thinly sliced roast beef for the wraps so that they don’t get too bulky when rolling up. You can use deli roast beef if you don’t have any leftover roast.

Beef with Baby Greens Salad and Horseradish Vinaigrette

This is a great way to use leftover Oven Roast Beef or Grilling Steak -- smart cooks grill an extra steak when barbecuing in order to have one leftover to make a speedy next-day meal like this one. Always let cooked steaks stand for 5 minutes before slicing them across the grain to serve in salads or wraps.

Big Batch Beef Burritos

The Big Batch Beef Burrito recipe was created by Andrea Buckett and it’s a staple in my house. "As a mom to two active teenage boys it can sometimes be hard to keep up with the amount of food they require. Taking some time to make a batch of these burritos means we have an easy, healthy, grab and go lunch that is delicious and budget friendly. Setting up a burrito assembly line where the boys pitch in is a win win for everyone."
