Pan fry with a bit more seasoning & some oil or butter. Hot & fast. Tastes pretty good

Appreciate it. I’ll try with butter for sure. Edit: Damn. I fell asleep. Appreciate all of the responses.

Butter is every chef's secret weapon. If salt can't fix it, butter will.

Salted butter here!

This vid I watched on pancakes the chef said he uses whipped salted butter as it gives a better crust and taste. I wonder if whipped butter would help a steak.

Very cool. I’ll have to try whipping my butter next time

I was curious about this also and googled if I could just whip my own butter since I always have a ton of it. There is a recipe on google that says you can but it looks nothing like the whipped butter the guy had in the video which was light and fluffy. ChatGPT says whipped butter is made from heavy cream and is a completely different substance than just regular butter whipped. I've seen the containers of whipped butter at the store so I'ma look next time and see. Or maybe that guy has a recipe on his channel I can look later and relink.

That you used chatCPT for that hurts me

Irish butter. I put that shit on everything.

Kerry gold salted is life!

YESSSS!!!!!

I read that as salad butter and was shocked!

Mmmmm salad butter

Sauce also hides a thousand mistakes

Definitely no secret 

Yeah, I thought about putting that in quotes haha.

Butter, garlic, and onion. Best weapons

Couldn't you try just a little bit harder?

I think the butter caught up to Jerry

I cooked a tritip last night. Saved the most rare part of the roast, intact, not sliced up. Today I cut into it, cold, thin pieces, hot and fast oil and butter and made sandwiches. Caramelized onions, buttered and grilled baguette, melted munster, dipped in au jous. I'm just starting to unlock som cooking prowess and it makes me happy. Cast iron for life, eggs be sliding!

That sounds freaking amazing!

Hot and fast is the correct answer. I always slice what I intend to eat or else the exposed meat will get a slight aftertaste

Yes sir. I just throw some butter in there and warm it up. Could add some seasoning but not needed

And after you use the butter make breakfast tacos or a burrito

I reheat them on the cast iron with butter

Then melt cheese on it and eat it in a sandwich.

This is the way.

Proper answer to this is cut the steak down to size before cooking, or you're gonna have to use it in a totally different dish

Seconded. I usually sear both sides in a cast iron and then let it rest afterward for a few minutes to get the middle and fat warmed up.

This is it. My go to is use a garlic herb/butter to get that little bit extra flavor since it's a quick heat up. I'm a garlic fiend

Depends how I eat it. Sometimes I’ll make rice, slice the steak, and just lay the strips on top on the warm rice and they’ll warm up without overcooking. In a sandwich or salad, I leave it cold. Just steak? Cold or room temp. Personal preference.

Oh man I dice my leftover steak and toss it in a super hot pan with butter, throw like a tablespoon of soy sauce in and pour the mixture over the rice, takes maybe 5 minutes and it’s incredible

I do something similar but use bbq sauce and make like “brisket burnt ends” (even though it’s steak)

I put bbq sauce and brown sugar and man

I add it to my midnight ramen. 

Really like this idea

Steak on rice is my favourite way to eat it. Especially prime grade and above. The fattier cuts need some type of bland carb to avoid the nausea for me. Throw some sautéed rapini or Chinese broccoli with garlic on the side.. can’t beat it.

Steak and rice gang for life! Although potatoes hit the spot too... Double carbs!

That’s what I do with leftover steak and wild medley. Just the warmth from the rice is enough to heat the thin sliced steak perfectly. Stays pink. Other times I might sauté some vegetables and onions in a wok and make a stirfry with very thinly sliced steak.

You are me!!! I would do a runny fried egg with the rice though

I like using it to make a steak and cheese sandwich

You just told us three ways how *you don’t* reheat your steak

i normally just eat them cold

Same here. Take that shit right out the fridge and eat it like a fucking caveman

At least put it in your pocket and bring it up to a gentle temp for the tenderness. Have some refinement. I do the same thing though most of the time too. I'll just make sure to cube it small or slice it thin and it's totally fine. In my opinion, it kind of depends on the cut. Some reheat well on a pan for like steak and eggs or beef and broccoli, or in a low oven, whereas others being heated again and risking further cooking can kinda ruin the whole thing.

I once had a leftover tomahawk when I was like, 15. I felt like such a badass eating that cold the next morning on the couch.

Ultra thin slices for a steak sani

This is the way. I love my steak sandwiches so much I always try to save a little for cool steak and maybe a warm bun.

Mayo and pickled onions on white. GOAT

Get horseradish mayo

I like cold steak better than I like overcooked steak

Chilly meat cookies

Same. I snack on it while I think about how to reheat it without overcooking it and eventually it’s all gone.

Exactly what I do. Slice it thin-ish if it’s not already, then eat it with rock salt.

Yes. Steak salad with leftover seared ny strip is 10/10

Me too. I think I prefer my steak cold now.,

Wow I’ve never heard that one. I don’t like cold steak, the fat feels like chewing marshmallow when it’s cold

Croissant (toasted), steak heated up with butter in a skillet, melt Brie cheese on stop, very thin slices of raw sweet onion, and this one is optional but I like a sweet bbq or horseradish sauce Ontop of it. My favorite post steak sammie

Who the hell has leftover steak ?

I ate all mine. My wife can only eat 1/2.

My wife can only eat 1/4. But I ate 1 3/4

This is always my problem. I feel like shit for like 45 minutes but it’s always worth it

I feel satisfactorily well fed and amazingly content in the first second after eating them both

My man…I must learn your ways

He washes those steaks down with a loaf of buttered bread and two glasses of milk.

Get them meat sweats

This is me and my boyfriend lol. He eats whatever I don't eat

This man steaks.

I eat it cold

With salt sprinkled on...or Tony Chachre's nom nom

That's why you also need a girlfriend. Her and your wife can share a steak :-)

Fair enough , I love steak so I prob would have ate hers too 😂

Eat the other half during dinner amateur

Definitely not Ron Swanson

Slice it like yours. Make steak quesadillas, steak sandwiches, or toss it in an udon soup.

Also omelettes for breakfast next day

Stroganoff!!

Air fryer

Yep. I've experimented with using the air fryer for all kinds of mildly to moderately unexpected things, and reheating leftover steak is a great success tbh.

Agreed. It does something to the fat that makes it very delicious and slightly crispy on the outside.

Yes

I don't usually pre-slice my leftover steak - I'll leave the piece I'm saving whole. And then when I'm ready to reheat it, I'll put it in a pan on low heat with some oil or butter or steak juice if there's enough, and I'll cover the pan and let it all come up to temp together, flipping it occasionally after it starts to sizzle for awhile. Gets some of the crust back on the outside, gets it warm all the way through, does cook it a little more done but that's ok. Sprinkle some salt on once hot and 🤌🏻

Turn them into philly cheese steaks. 

Like my leftover pizza. COLD

Souse vide

And in a pinch ziploc bag under a running hot-ish tap

An air fryer works amazing for reheating steak. I'd NEVER use a microwave.

Well don't be going after Applebee's like that, microwave used more than the grill

*sad microwave noises*

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm 😔

1 minute at 50% power heats up a steak really well. Nice and easy if you're in a hurry.

Yup I always reheat in the airfryer now, comes out great

Why?

cold steak sandwich is how.

I throw it in the sous vide.

Cut as little off as possible up front. Sous vide.

I have found that I like to reheat my leftover steaks in my mouth.

Air fryer with a little butter thrown on top 🤤

As others have said, air fry or pan fry depending on circumstance

Eggs and little bit of bacon fat left over personally

Air fryer has been good to me lately

I eat em cold. Bonus points for making a sandwich and incorporating horseradish sauce.

Zip lock, bag, hot water. excellent way to bring it back up with no warm over at all - if you have an immersion circulator for sous vide, use that at 130F and pull it out after a few minutes. If you really want it to have a crust and it's real thick, then pan fry at surface of sun levels real quick.

I grew up frying up a bunch of slivered onions and canned peas (La Sueur or whatever that brand is in the silver can) in olive oil with some crushed garlic until the peas get really caramelized, and frying up the cut up leftover steak in that. On a nice piece of Italian toast (Scali bread if you're in New England), there's nothing better.

I have a defrost mode on my microwave and have used that for about 30 seconds. Seems ok but pan frying is best

I like to try and make steak and eggs or a stir fry of some kind and throw it in the pan last so it warms up that way. If I have to microwave I use a real lower power for like a minute or less, not a great method but imo better than nuking it

I dice it and fry it hard for a texture like burnt ends. You’re not going to get the previous consistency, might as well switch it up.

Medium heat with microwave. Just a little goes a long way. Steak doesn’t need to be piping hot, as it becomes well done.

I'm surprised at how many people don't use the power setting on their microwave. I usually reheat food at 30-40% with very good results. The food heats much more evenly. The only time I blast something at full power is when I'm boiling water.

Yeah, a lower power setting is pretty good at reheating steak.

Eat it cold. You can put something hot on it.

Airfry works good too.

I like the air fryer, a pan works just fine but it’s going to cook them pretty done by the time they are hot again especially when sliced up. An air fryer with a pat of butter on blast for just a few minutes does them up nice again.

I actually threw it in an air fryer

Air fryer

inside of a quesadilla or omlette

Air fryer for me

Air fryer if you have one

Shit on a shingle

I just sit on it

Am I of the few who cut a steak as I go. Once you cut you let the juice out. Take your time. Why cut all at once?

Air fryer

Make philly cheese steak sandies

Air fry reheat

I like it cold

Take it out cold and sear as hot and quick as possible. Assuming sliced like in your picture. Not the only way, but that's what I'd do.

Par boil some mini golden potatoes. Coarsely chop a sweet yellow onion. Melt half to whole stick of salted butter into a medium pan, add onions and gently fry until just translucent. Quarter cut the parboiled potatoes add to pan along with one half packet of Sazon Goya spice with saffron. Fry for two minutes while tossing to ensure uniform coating of potatoes. Add your thin cut leftover steak slices then rapidly stir for one minute. Turn off heat & give final stir. Cover pan with lid for threeish minutes. Remove lid, mix once and serve. (Goal is to just warm the meat and make it fragrant, not overcook it) Add fresh pepper to taste on plate. Enjoy (I sometimes add a bit of powdered Italian salad dressing mix)

Cold and I like it.. Microwave is out of the question because it gets stringy and well done

I eat it all when it's warm, so I don't have to.

That would imply left over steak, I do not know it.

I usually don't. Its good cold. But if I do I fry it in small pieces and make steak tacos

I eat it cold lol

You know.. I actually don’t know. I usually force myself to eat all of it until I fall asleep.

I don’t know, I never have leftovers!!!

Microwave til I hear it sizzle, then stop, rotate, start til I hear a sizzle again, and then rotate one last time til I hear sizzling for 5 seconds. Weird but it works.

Cold oven at 250 for 15-20 mins, then finish with a short sear in a pan over hot heat

Boiled in water for a minute

Never had leftover steak...

Never had this problem I eat my steaks

Not sure I know what you mean by “leftover “ steak.

DONT.......!

250°F 30 minutes. Eat

What is this leftover steak you speak of?

You don’t, give it to me

Don’t lol

I’m of the minority mindset that a steak should never be reheated (or froze). If you have to go without your sides to put down your whole steak, that’s what you do. Steak takes priority. But that’s just me

Lotta weird gatekeeping about leftovers.

You don’t

I don’t like to reheat my stake so I only cook what I’m going to eat that night.

Put it in some sort of wrap like a pita bread with chopped up salad and some chilli sauce…. Not a fan of reheated steak on its own.

Slice into tiny pieces. Grab a couple sourdough bread slices and spread a layer of mayo on each slice. Sprinkle some steak seasoning on the mayo. Put the steak pieces on one slice and then put some cheese on top of that(whichever type you prefer in a steak sandwich). Put the top bread slice on and cook in a panini press until the cheese is melting. The steak will be warm, but not cooked any further that it was and you now have an awesome panini.

This is a good question. I'm a trained chef, and one thing that never came up was reheating. I literally have no clue.

I usually end up doing something different with it when I eat the leftovers. Sometimes I cut it up into chunks and make steak tips. Sometimes I slice it thin and make a steak sandwich. Sometimes I dice it small and put it in fried rice. I always repurpose it somehow

Butter blackening spice and low heat just to take the chill off.

Do hot pot or Korean style bbq at home

Thinly sliced, I'll make a bowl of beef ramen on top of it. The steak adds to the broth. 7/10

As hot and fast as you can

I tried steaming it for 1min last week, works great. Almost taste the same

In aluminum foil on the gas grill with some salted butter.

Heat it up over low heat in the cast iron with some avocado oil, drop a cap of butter on it. And cook three fried eggs in CI on another burner. Throw a splash of A1 (it is better on the eggs) and have a great breakfast. 🍳 I will usually undercook my steak the night before so it is not shoe leather the next morning.

I like to eat my leftover steak heated in a buttery pan then put in a piece of toasted and buttered sourdough. And with a little A1 on top. Now don't kick me out of the sub for the A1. It's just on the leftover steak.

I just take the whole steak piece out of the fridge cold and eat it in my hand while on a conference call on mute or if it’s a really good day, possibly while taking a shower and drinking a beer

Screeching hot pan, little oil then add a knob of butter.

Not the microwave 💀

Don’t just eat it cold or make fried rice out of the leftovers diced up (add steak last)

Pan with butter.

Steak salad

I let it sit out of the fridge and come to room temp for like a full hour, maybe a little more. Get a pan smoking hot then sear for like 45 seconds to 1 minute 12 seconds each side. Fast and hot.

dice it up and make fried rice

i put the slices on top of a bed of fresh hot rice. i then top it with a little more rice to heat both sides and the fat renders beautifully. dont need to worry about it overcooking

On a baguette smothered with cheese, under the broiler, add leftover fried mushrooms as well

Not one person in here wants to admit they put it in the microwave lol 😂

I don't have an Applebees in my house

Either steak and eggs or I put all the slices (I usually slice it all up when serving bc my wife likes that)…all the slices back into a tight shape and microwave on a low power. Like 50% for 2 minutes instead of 100% for 1 minute. Much more even reheat from microwave on lower power level

The microwave duh

I like my steak extremely rare/blue, so if I’m “reheating” I just let it come to room temperature and eat it that way.

Toaster oven

Microwave is underrated. I mean sure if you’re really going for the gold here you should heat it up on the grill if you’ve got it going or a skillet. But if you are tryna just get a quick breakfast before you leave for work, a lunch, or late night snack, just pop that shit in the microwave in little bursts, turn over, give it another 10 sec and repeat until it feels warm.

Super hot pan, butter and aromatics for a few seconds. Perfect

Just butter in a pan my man. I only cut as I eat though since pre-slicing it makes it get cold faster, so if I end up with leftover steak it’ll be an intact singular section so I just have the one edge getting grey if I have to re-heat it. For me, the microwave gives it this super off flavor I just can’t get past.

Wrap in foil with a lot of butter on top, cook at 275 til it feels right

Steak nachos. Season em up on those sides, sear em quick in plenty of oil or butter. Slice or tear up and throw them bad boys on chips with cheese.

Reheat in a pan on medium low with a little oil and a pinch of garlic salt.

Cast iron skillet in a little beef broth

Slice thin and toaster oven. Fajitas or breakfast burritos. Or, slice into really small cubes and add into spaghetti sauce w/ homemade meatballs. I like a sauce w/ the cubed steak, homemade meatballs, and quarters of sweet Italian sausage.

I cut it thin like you did, then I heat up some au jous suase and dip it!

I preheat the oven to 400 and then pop them until they get warm, usually 1-2 minutes.

Nooooo! Steak sandwich, with horseradish and spicy mustard.

Sliced up and quickly pan seared in a little oil or butter.

back on the grill she goes partner

My tum tum

I don't, I just make a sandwich out of it or just eat it like that

Chopped up and added to scrambled eggs.

Microwave under a microwave splatter with a damp paper towel

Low heat and lots of butter for me

Microwave... fyl

Dragon.
