Show Us Your Leftovers (before and after)!

[HotSun]

Before: Same old hickory smoked pulled beef from above....man, I had a lot of it left over. Anyhow, Monday lunch (not ramen)....

After: BBQ beef sandwich


Toasted a roll, warmed up the beef, drizzled with a Texas-style BBQ sauce. I prefer a tangier sauce, but this reminded me of the BBQ beef sandwiches we would have at picnics and cookouts when I was a kid, though that beef wasn't smoked. I had a massive salad, too, not shown. Yum.

From the Old Restaurant Habits Die Hard department:
Am I the only one wiping down the rims and edges of my plates before taking my plating pic?

Before: Brazilian black beans and the same old hickory smoked pulled beef as before....not reposting that pic again, lol.

After: Dinner last night; not feijoada...


I had some leftover black beans so I just added the last of the pulled beef and warmed it up. There was enough liquid between the two to make a nice 'not feijoada', the traditional Brazilian stew. Regular feijoada has other 'stuff', like linguica and pork/beef parts (read into that what you will). The plan for the leftover beans was going to be chorizo, but I forgot to buy some, so this is what I landed on.

Really good. Adding smoked meats to other things does not always work out for me, but the flavor was outstanding. I garnished with farofa roughly in the shape of the Milky Way, haha. It didn't need the farofa, but was just for fun and the flavor was complimentary.

Mercifully (for all of us), I am done with the pulled beef leftovers, until I thaw another pouch.
