Leftover Beef Recipes
Cooked roast beef and browned mince are easy to turn into a second meal. These recipes start with beef you've already cooked.
Cooked beef is best chopped or shredded and warmed in a sauce so it stays moist. Roast beef suits stroganoff, curry rice and goulash; cooked mince is ready for shepherd's pie, empanadas or bobotie.
