I try to buy all of meat fresh, but particularly the beef. I do freeze some for later use, but I try to cook a day or two's worth of steak while the beef is fresh. The picture shows a couple of shortcuts I've started taking with my "leftover" meat - beef or chicken or pork I cooked yesterday and stuck in the 'frig*.
Basically, I cut the beef up into little chunks and dropped them into the pot with the canned beans to warm at the same time. When they are warmed through, I lay the mix across some fresh spinach - the heat from the meat and beans helps wilt the spinach a little. This method is not my preference for creating a specific flavor mix or visually appealing plate (I would not serve this to others at a dinner party) but it's a quick fix and dirties only one pan.

*I know from past experience that AdanA does not care for the abbreviated forms of the word "refrigerator", in particular "fridge" - knowing this and being also aware that AdanA currently represents ~ 20% of my readership, I'm throwing him a bone here with a shot at a more correct shortening of the word...we'll see how it goes.
My remorse overwhelms me. That I have burdened you with such pettiness saddens me so.
ReplyDeleteI don't recall where I was in this grand and ever-incomplete journey of maturation when I made that ill-considered remark. Please: pay me no mind, call your icebox whatever the frig you like!
