This sandwich is a great, tasty way to use up leftover steak and it's very simple to make, mostly because I rely on prepared barbecue sauce. All you need to do is chop up some onion and mushrooms (white or portobello) into small pieces and saute in a pan with a little bit of olive oil, salt and pepper until they are tender. I use a few tablespoons of onion and about 1 cup of the mushrooms, sometimes a bit more, per sandwich, but the amount is completely flexible. Vary the amounts depending on the size of your rolls. While the mushrooms are cooking, shred up some leftover beef and add it to the mushrooms once they're tender. Stir in enough of your favorite barbecue sauce to moisten everything, cook until the mixture is heated through, and serve on a fresh roll or baguette. This sandwich can also be made with all mushrooms for a vegetarian alternative.

Leftover steak is great for making philly cheese steaks.

My mom's new husband (dad died a long time ago) brought $100 worth of tenderloin roast to a dinner party I threw this past Sunday. We only ate half but I had a field day last night making cheese steaks. Oh God! Were those things delicious! I still got more left. I think I'll try the mushroom variation now.
Three days' worth of excellent steak. Oh, yeah!
