No steak left behind No Images? [Click here]( [Serious Eats]( 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 Wedge]([s]( 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.
