Hello dear friends! Are you having a hard time thinking about what you should do with all of the beef leftovers that are piling in your fridge? Of course, considering that hints of Hari Raya Haji is still in the air, the usual conduct will be turning it into soup or rendang. But if you are getting tired of that menu, here are some ideas you should definitely try to mix it up a little.
10 Beef Dish Ideas That You Can Cook With Leftover Meat In Your Fridge
1. Bulgogi
We are starting off strong with a dish originated from Korea, the Beef Bulgogi. Bulgogi literally means “fire meat” in which thin, marinated slices of beef are browned to perfection on a grill pan. Believe it or not, this popular dish is actually very easy to make! Pair these juicy slices of sizzling goodness with red leaf lettuce, rice, and kimchi and you know you are going to have a good time.

You will be surprised at how good these tastes especially when they are accompanied by chili sauce and mayonnaise.

3. Beef Jerky
Here’s something that will last for more than a month! If you haven’t heard of beef jerky before, just imagine lean trimmed meat that has been cut into strips and dried (dehydrated). Normally, drying includes the addition of salt (and several other seasonings of your choice) to prevent bacteria growth. Although this dish is absolutely foreign in Malaysia, it’s not impossible to make! All of the ingredients can be bought locally and it could make a great snack.

4. Spaghetti Bolognese
Doesn’t need a lot of explanation for this, huh? If you ended up with mismatched pieces of meat in your fridge, it just makes a lot of sense to simply mince it all up and turn it into a thick spaghetti sauce! It tastes amazing and you can definitely have it for a heavy lunch or dinner.

8. Japanese Pancake With Beef
Also known as Okonomiyaki, these savoury pancakes contain a variety of ingredients in a wheat-flour-based batter. The phrase “okonomi” literally translates to “what you like” so seriously, you can just drop in any savoury topping you like in it and it will still be considered as Okonomiyaki. It tastes quite similar to takoyaki so you know it’s going be good.

9. Beef Kebab
Just a disclaimer, when we say kebab, it’s the Malaysian-style kebab (you know, the ones that we stuff in pita bread and not on skewer). You know it will taste good if you could already taste the food just by looking at it. The aroma produced by it will immediately remind you of night markets or Ramadan Bazaar.

10. Risoles
Rissole is a snack food in Indonesia. It really resembles popia but we assure you that it doesn’t taste the same at all. They are commonly filled with bechamel sauce, chicken, and diced vegetables – including carrot, celery, common beans and potato. Honestly, it that doesn’t spell a good time in your mouth, then we don’t know what will.
