Shredded beef ideas?

If it is cut 'paper thin' and not actually shredded then I would say cook it with some onions. Then after it is cooked spread some shredded Mozzarella over it, toast some bread and make a excellent sandwich.

Or

Do the same thing with the onions but also add Bell peppers (color of your choice) and add it to some rice, preferably basmati but plain is fine to.

That is just for some simple and quick things you can do. I have others but I have a Security meeting for work I need to go to.

 

You could put it in a stir fry, or make fajitas, how about philly cheese steak sandwich.

 

Sukiyaki would be good. I actually have beef shaved at the grocery to make it.



Sukiyaki Recipe courtesy Tomoko MoriguchiShow: FoodNation With Bobby FlayEpisode: Seattle

Sauce:
1/2 cup soy sauce
2 tablespoons sugar
1 cup soup stock
1/4 cup mirin

Sukiyaki:
1 pound thinly sliced beef meat
1/4 cup sugar
2 medium onions, sliced
4 ounces yam noodles (shirataki)
1 cup sliced bamboo shoots
2 stalks celery, sliced
1 cup soaked, rinsed and sliced shiitakes
1 cube tofu, cut into 1-inch pieces
1 bunch green onions, cut into 2-inch lengths
2 leaves Napa cabbage, sliced
2 tablespoons oil
Mix soy sauce, sugar, stock, and mirin together in a bowl. Arrange meat and vegetables on a large platter. Heat an electric skillet to 375 degrees F. Add oil to the skillet and heat. Brown meat in the oil, adding sugar slowly. Move the meat to the corner of the skillet when well browned. Add other vegetables, keeping each separate. Add sauce and cover. Bring to a boil and cook for 2 minutes. Uncover and turn all ingredients while cooking 2 minutes more. Serve on small plates.

 

I think that about covers it! But the following idea has proven popular with several of our children's young adult friends:

Combine cooked shredded beef with Thai peanut sauce (which can be easily made with peanut butter and a few Asian spices, or purchased ready-made in the ethnic food section of any large grocery store) for an exotic "dressing up" of a staple in every grad student's pantry: Ramen noodles!

 

Hi Sopranette,
Mirin is rice wine, found in the asian food section near the soy sauce. You can leave it out entirely--I don't use alcohol of any kind, just add water instead. Yam noodles would be a little tricky to find--but you could always substitute spaghetti noodles--not quite the same, but an OK substitute. Napa cabbage is usually available in my Kroger or Walmart. You could use Savoy cabbage, too. Or just use regular cabbage if there's nothing else available. And yes, skip the tofu if you don't like it. As to the soup stock, if you want it to be authentic, use fish stock. But I'd use beef. I don't think you'll find fish stock anywhere except in an asian market.

Sukiyaki is my favorite Japanese food. I make it occasionally, and serve it over rice with Japanese pickles on the side. Sprinkle a little thinly sliced green onion over it for garnish. Really tasty, and wonderful on a cold evening!

 

If it's shredded, put it in omelettes or breakfast burritos or casseroles.

Actually, you could substitute it for hamburger in a number of casseroles.

 

Marinate in bulgogi sauce, then cook over coals quickly. Serve as a side to stir fry vegies, or any other oriental dish. Our Korean girls really loved bulgogi, as did the rest of our family.

3 tablespoons soy sauce 2 teaspoons sesame oil 2 tablespoons water 1 teaspoon Chinese bean paste (optional) 2 tablespoons rice wine or dry sherry 1 teaspoon ground toasted sesame seeds 2 teaspoons green onions, finely chopped 1/2 teaspoon chili sauce (optional) 1 garlic clove, crushed 2 teaspoons sugar salt

You can also buy bulgogi sauce at your local Asian food market.

 

sounds yummy

 

I might have to try that sandwich recipe, Sopranette! It sounds delicious!!
