Mexican Steak Skillet
A Philly Cheesesteak is a sandwich consisting of a beefsteak or other meat patty, cheese, and a fried egg on top. The original version was created in the 1930s when Frank Rizzuto, owner of a restaurant called Tony & Al’s, began serving his customers sandwiches with Italian sausage instead of beef. In the 1950s, he added provolone cheese to the mix. Today, many people believe that the true origin of the Philly Cheesesteak comes from Genovese immigrants who settled in South Philadelphia in the early 1900s. Their descendants still live in the area today.

What can I do with tough steak that’s already cooked?
If you have leftover steak, you can freeze it and later thaw it out and grill it. This works well if you have a grill pan. It is important to remember that frozen meat does not always taste good. So, if you are planning to eat the steak, try to cook it right away. If you cannot cook it immediately, put it in the refrigerator and let it cool down completely. Then, wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and place it in the freezer. After a couple of days, remove it from the freezer and cut into smaller pieces. Now, you can grill it.
How long is leftover steak good for?
Steak leftovers are great for making sandwiches, salads, wraps, soups, casseroles, and even pasta dishes. Leftover steak can last up to three days if stored properly. It is important to wrap the meat tightly in plastic wrap and place it in the refrigerator. This helps preserve the flavor and texture of the steak.
How do you reuse a tough steak?
Tougher cuts of meat such as flank steak, skirt steak, and tri tip are great candidates for making into tacos. Simply cut the meat into strips about 1/2 inch wide and 2 inches long. Season with salt and pepper and sear in a hot skillet until golden brown. Add taco seasoning and toss to coat. Serve on soft corn tortillas with shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, and sour cream.
