Reheating restaurant steak?

Question

I had a really good steak at a restaurant last night and brought half of it home. How do I reheat it without drying it out or otherwise ruining it?

Answer 1

We've had excellent results with leftover steak, not by reheating it, but by slicing it as thin as possible, across the grain, and then serving it on top of a nice salad. This is particularly delicious with steak that is medium rare.

In fact, we now often grill more steak than we know we'll eat so that we'll have leftovers for a salad later in the week.

Hope this helps.

Answer 2

If the steak was really rare you might have a shot at it. Leave it out to get to room temperature and quick flash fry it in a frying pan.
If it wasn't rare, most of the others are right, thinly slice it and use it for something else...........It'll end up dry and chewy if you try to reheat it. You can't duplicate the flavor and texture you had the night before.

Answer 3

If it looks juicy you could just pop in the microwave.
Be sure to put it on a regular plate, the foam containers aren't good for microwaving.
If kinda dry you could cover with a wet paper towel while zapping.

I would probably heat it by sauteing with olive oil and onion/garlic

Then you could do a few things, slice it, saute it and

put it in an omelet
Make fajitas
toss in some veges for a stir fry


yum, sounds good. we're having frozen pizza tonight.
