Leftover steak

I have a 5-6 ounce filet in the fridge leftover from last night. If I heat it up it will over cook, but I don't want to eat it cold.

shite.

I try to undercook one if I think it might not get eaten. Like really rare, then I can heat in a black iron skillet for a couple of minutes and it still only be medium/medium well.

Otherwise cut it in some thin strips and make some nachos, fajitas, quesadillas etc.

When I have tenderloin left over and it’s not really enough to bake a potato for, I cut it into small pieces and make a quesadilla, I use 4 cheese Mexican cheese or sharp cheddar and serve with sour cream on the side, we really like it.

Beef stroganoff is the answer here.

Yeah I like to do steak quesadillas with sautéed onion and red bells with some kinda cheese

Steak nachos

We always cut it into strips and pan fry and toss in a little taco seasoning and do steak tacos

This is what the wife and I do with leftover steak. I only cook my steaks to medium rare at most and if any is left after we eat them they get used for the above. Makes for a quick meal and good use of leftover steak.

Slice thin, trim fat, put on a Martin's bun with some Horsey Sauce and a slice of cheddar.

Sounds good. I would also put some thin sliced, pickled red onions on it.

Raw or cooked?

Cooked, I just slice it very thin, heat some butter on med-high heat in a frying pan, throw in the steak and keep tossing it in the butter just enough to warm through...like less than a minute is enough. Warming through shouldn't take it above the 120-130 you originally cooked it to.

Raw, I agree with others...stroganoff, nachos, fajitas, etc.
