I over cooked the beef yesterday. I usually have it medium rare. I've got a good sized piece left.
Has anyone got any ideas how I can use it up?
I've got Stilton in the fridge and all the usual staples to use.
I hate to waste it , but would struggle to eat as it is.
Many thanks for any suggestions.

I imagine the local foxes would be glad of it.

I would make
Curry
Stew
Casserole
Stroganoff
The possibilities are endless

I'm amazed that some people must be made of money! 😯

Cottage pie not shepherds pie, She said beef, not lamb.

I’m glad you’ve decided what to do with your beef mumski. It will be delicious.

I did beef, too, and although not overcooked it was more well done than medium (and I prefer it slightly pink). Still nice, though, and not tough. However, there was quite a lot left, so I minced it up and divided into two portions. One portion I used to make a cottage pie which we had day after Boxing Day. The other half I’ve put in a box and frozen to use another time - either for another cottage pie or perhaps for a chilli con carne.

Give to the cat/dog

Not all of us can afford to waste food!

Feeding your animals is not wasting food.

It is when it's expensive beef!

Dogs don't know the difference.

Yes!

Those mentioning mincing:

Do you have old-fashioned mincers, do you chop the meat in a food processor or do you use another gadget?

DH uses the food processor.

We used to have my mum’s old mincer, but it needed to be fastened to the table edge, and over time it went rusty.

I have the mincer attachment for my Kenwood Mixer and use that.

Ah! I have a Kenwood mixer, I'll investigate, thank you.

That's what I was thinking of 🙂
I had one as well years ago, a bit more modern than my Mum's but not as good.

I use the food processor to chop it up.
