Beef Miroton

Have you ever made a delicious roast beef only to realize you’re stuck with the (only relatively appetizing) leftovers for days to come? Now you can make a roast with a game plan in mind. With this meal, all you’re doing is making a thick sauce to go over your meat and breathe new life into it, so it’s not time consuming and it complements the meat wonderfully. We hate the feeling of being stuck with a dish without a way to make it new and interesting again, but this Beef Miroton dish does just the trick and gives us an entirely new and delicious meal!
Repurposed Leftovers Recipe: Beef Miroton
