I have alot of roast leftover from Yom tov and it doesnt taste good enough to serve again for dinner plain. I need some ideas for how to repurpose it. All idea welcome, I'll know the right one for me when I see it
It's a chuck roast, so it's pretty tender and braised.
Edit, only stovetop or crockpot recipes please

Make pulled beef. Shred the beef with 2 forks or chop into small pieces. Add sautéed onions (frozen cubes are ok) and barbecue sauce.
Serve on mashed potatoes, in pita, tacos, or sandwiches

shred it!

stir some into sloppy joe sauce, serve on buns with fries and slaw

add taco-style seasonings to another portion and serve with taco shells or on salad with chips

bbq sauce some for pizza or wraps

I'll occasionally do meat breakfast burritos - add it to scrambled eggs and add some salsa. especially filling breakfasts are great for day trip days!

Saute with onions and peppers
or
slice and bread like schnitzel and fry. It is always a hit.

Make knishes or egg rolls for Succos. Or both! (I've done this with leftover roast, corned beef, or pastrami)

Knishes: Saute onions and combine with shredded meat. Make a sauce with equal amounts ketchup and duck sauce. Buy a package of puff pastry squares. Roll out each square slightly, brush generously in center with sauce, put on a generous spoonful of meat, and fold in a triangle, using a fork to seal the edges. Can be smeared with egg and sesame before baking, or bake and serve with a mushroom sauce over it.

For egg rolls - Saute some onions for a while till carmelized, add a package of coleslaw mix and saute briefly. Season with soy sauce, ginger, and a drop of sesame oil. Add shredded beef. Stuff into eggroll wrappers and roll up folding in the edges. I like to freeze them at this point, and I fry them on Y"T morning, somewhat thawed but not totally - they don't fall apart this way. Serve with a dipping sauce of apricot jam, drop of mustard, and drop of teriyaki sauce combined.

Yum!

We eat roast so rarely that I would want to freeze it for another time. It needs to be frozen "wet" or you get freezer burn. Put it into a foil pan, cover with any remaining sauce, if there isn't much sauce (or even if there is) add some red wine, cover tightly and freeze. It is better after his treatment than first time around.

I had the same question last night. I had a full pan of roast that was frozen and heated up. I googled and according to google if the pan is full without any air spaces and wrapped well then it’s okay to refreeze. I’ve never done this before as I always thought meat cannot be refrozen. I guess I never had so much leftovers so I didn’t look into it. I hope it will be okay. I do not plan on serving when we have guests.

I lay roast slices on top of onions being sauteed in frying pan. Add water to almost cover and then cook down on med-low flame, covered. Pour the liquid left when ready over mashed potatoes.

I make a thick, beefy vegetable minestrone soup. Lots of chunky Vegetables, meat chopped up, spices.

I’m assuming I need to throw out the leftover gefilte fish and make new for shabbos? I cooked it on Sunday. I don’t think I would want to eat it on shabbos!
