What to Cook on July 5th: Leftovers Edition

No steak left behind No Images? Click here   Got Leftover Grilled Meats? These 8 Recipes Will Help You Use 'Em Up For us, a 4th of July cookout means cooking up mountains of beef, pork, chicken, and just about anything else we can get our hands on. As a result, we usually end up with leftovers. With a little know-how, yesterday's feast can taste just as good today.  Steak and Corn Salad With Salsa Verde You can try to reheat leftover steak, but you're just going to end up overcooking it. A better option is to thinly slice and serve it cold, in this case with grilled or broiled corn and a Spanish-style salsa verde. Steak Carpaccio Salad Carpaccio is traditionally made with raw beef, but rare leftovers make a delicious version too. We prefer to toss the arugula and red onion in a caper-studded vinaigrette before topping with beef and Parmesan so that every bite is balanced. Smoky Barbecue Beans You can make a great pot of barbecue beans with bacon, but it will be even better if you used leftover smoked meat (beef, pork, and turkey all work wonderfully). Cornbread-Coated Pulled Pork Mac and Cheese Wedges Have leftover mac and cheese and pulled pork after a day of barbecuing? Fold them together into these outrageous fried mac and cheese bombs. Cold Steak Salad With Cucumber and Ponzu-Mustard Vinaigrette This cold steak salad is inspired by tataki, a Japanese dish of thinly sliced seared beef served with shoyu ponzu, a soy- and citrus-based dipping sauce Grilled Chicken and Cabbage Salad With Creamy Tahini Dressing To breathe new life into the leftover grilled chicken, we massage it with olive oil, lemon juice, and garlic and toss it with a tahini-based dressing.  Leftover-Lamb Sandwiches With Tapenade Mayo, Watercress, and Caciocavallo Cheese Who doesn't love a good leftovers sandwich? We developed this sandwich to be made with roast lamb, but grilled lamb will work just as well. Quick and Easy Pork Fried Rice With Corn and Shishito Peppers Fried rice our favorite way to use up leftovers—just about anything in the fridge can find a home here. This version is made with corn, shishito peppers, and whatever pork you have around.
