Hi, so I received this frozen HUGE (1.3 pound) steak from the food bank. I live alone, and wouldn’t really want to eat it as a steak.
Is there any reason why I shouldn’t cook it like a pot roast? I feel like I could use the leftovers better that way.
I mean…it’s still beef. Or am I being dumb? How would you cook it to make 2-3+ meals out of it?

Cut in bite size pieces and make a soup. That should give you 4-6 servings…Add bone to soup for more flavor..
Yes and won’t take as long.
Please don’t. I’d cut the tenderloin ( the small hunk of meat on the right side of the T) and strip ( large part on the left side of T). The filet can make one meal and I’d slice up the strip for stir fry which will last a few meals.
That would work fine. I did this myself a couple of weeks ago. I put a layer of sliced onions on the bottom of the pan, put the meat on top of it, and added bbq sauce and water to make it moist. I baked it on low 300 degrees for about an hour. Towards the end, I added more bbq sauce. It would work with tomato sauce or diced tomatoes as well. It sliced really easily, and I served the meat in taco shells. It tasted great.
Yes.
Or, steak fajitas or tacos.
Steak sandwich.
Or, make it and some sides for make-ahead freezer meals.

I’ll gladly admit that meat is not my thing, at all, but my first reflex would be to get a lb of dried lentils, soak for a bit, and boil until tender. Chop this thing up, fry for a littlebit together with leek, onion or similar, and then simmer it all into a fall soup.
They’re steak subs they might be more helpful
Ok, duh, I don’t know why I didn’t think about cutting it into pieces before cooking!! That’s totally what I’ll do. Beef stir-fry or stroganoff or something like that. Thank you!
I do it all the time. shhhhhh, don’t tell my taste buds! I also use them in roasting bags, or crockpot. No waste at all. Throw in potatoes, veggies, etc . Just whatever you want😁
My current favorite thing to do with beef that isn’t a straight up steak is to slice it in strips and cover it in beef gravy from a jar and put it in the crockpot. 8 hours on low makes the tenderist meat. The nicer Walmart I go to has sirloin precut into strips it calls beef tips.
I would pan fry it with butter and keep the bone for soup
I just did this 2 days ago.. I always always always use this cut FROZEN!
I sprinkle it with seasonings that we like and a little meat tenderizer, wrap it in tin foil tight on 150 degrees for 4 hours, set the timer and then I whisk 2 packets of instant brown gravy mix, add the gravy, carrots, potatoes, etc in at 300 degrees for 3 hours and make sure to wrap the roast tightly then, after 3 hours, pull it from the oven and decide if is needs some more slow cooking or if it needs to be turned up a bit. My entire family will eat it. Then, the next day we have roast beef sandwiches! Nothing wasted.
Dream a Little dream and it shall be so
Get a roast ! Why would you pay the extra bucks for a great steak and roast it ? You could… it’s meat .. you can roast it but why.
