Here’s another leftover steak recipe you can eat for breakfast. Instead of bacon or ham, make your weekday breakfast a little special by adding steak to a cheese omelet. Simply chop the steak into small pieces and fold it into the omelet with your choice of cheese (we recommend sharp cheddar or even feta) for a protein-packed start to your day.
Omelets are better with vegetables – it’s a fact. So you could also add diced bell peppers or caramelized onions for extra flavor. Serve hot with a side of fresh fruit for a breakfast that’ll put a spring in your step for the rest of the day.

Simple doesn’t have to mean boring! This is a great dish for a potluck, a barbecue, or just a warm weeknight evening. Thread leftover steak onto skewers with your favorite vegetables. We love peppers and onions, but you can also add pineapple or cherry tomatoes for extra flavour. Some people even go with haloumi!
Grill the skewers until the steak is heated through and the vegetables are tender. Serve hot off the grill with a side of rice or garlic bread, and you have an easy weeknight meal that everyone will enjoy.
Other Tips and Tricks for Leftover Steak Recipes
Now we’ve inspired you to with all those leftover steak recipes, here some more tips for storing, reheating, and keeping things tasty. After all, good leftovers should never go to waste – it’s practically a free meal, without the cooking!
Storage
First up, storage. To keep that flavor and tenderness intact, it is crucial to store your leftover steak properly. Wrap it tightly in plastic wrap or aluminum foil and pop it in the fridge. If you are planning on saving it for longer, consider freezing it – just make sure it is tightly sealed to prevent freezer burn.
Reheating Leftover Steak
Now, onto reheating. Avoid shoving your steak in the microwave, which can leave it dry and tough. Instead, try reheating it gently on the stovetop or in the oven at a low temperature. Reheating in an air fryer is a good option too. You can even add a splash of beef broth or a drizzle of olive oil to help revive its juiciness.
Marinate and Season
If your leftover steak is lacking seasoning, consider marinating it in your favorite sauce or marinade before reheating or incorporating it into meals. This will infuse the steak with additional flavor and help keep it juicy.
Bonus Tip: Steak Toppings for Pizza
Did you know that you can level up your pizza by topping it with some juicy leftover steak? Just slice thinly and scatter it over pizza dough along with your favorite sauce, cheese, and toppings. Bake until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbly for a delicious homemade pizza night.
So there you have it—leftover steak is not just for reheating anymore! From savory breakfast omelets to sizzling steak skewers, the possibilities are endless.
