,This delicious leftover steak recipe of steak enchiladas came about in the aftermath of a visit to one of Wisconsin’s legendary supper clubs over this past weekend. If you’ve never been to a bona fide supper club, that would be reason enough to pay a visit to America’s Dairyland.
Ever Wondered What To Do With Leftover Steak?
Although we had only two of our boys with us, we ordered for three and received enough incredibly good tasting food to easily serve twice that many. In addition to our very full stomachs, this left us wondering what to do with leftover steak. These steak enchiladas recipe makes for good leftover meals.
Steak Enchiladas
We’ve put other enchiladas together that are a minor variation to this recipe. Our chicken enchiladas feature a green enchilada sauce, complimented with some salsa verde. Both enchilada recipes are easy and delicious.
After making this lefover beeef and steak enchiladas, I realized how easy it would be to make pork enchiladas by using leftover pork.
These are Delicious Leftover Steak Recipes
Because we had gigantic portions of both ground sirloin and sirloin steaks from our supper club visit, we loaded these babies up and then added some pan roasted fresh sweet corn and black beans to the mix.
This makes for an easy to put together use of beef and steak leftovers and something the whole family will ask for again. And again.
As one of our boys aptly declared at the end of this meal of steak enchiladas, to you, I say, “Olé!”

What type of chili peppers do you mean? Green Chilis?
Chopped chili peppers, which are typically green and sold in 4 oz cans or larger.

A wonderful way to use leftovers. Usually, we don’t have any steak leftover but I imagine if you had a good roast you could shave it thin enough to follow your recipe. The beef enchiladas look so good my stomach is growling.
I just love repurposing left overs and this is a fantastic idea I can tell by looking at this recipe my family will love it!
What a great idea for leftovers! I never would have thought of this but it sounds so, so good!
Oh I love enchiladas but I’ve never made them with leftovers. This sounds so good. I must try the leftover chicken and sometimes we do have leftover steak too. Perfect.
I have to admit, “leftovers” and “steak” never go together in my house! But, these enchiladas sound wonderful, and they are a great way to use up leftovers. Pinning this one to try soon
What a perfect cold weather meal. I love spicy casseroles for the winter months!
Enchiladas are our favorite dinner as family! Being vegetarians, we stick to cheese and/or spinach, but it should taste delicious with any filling.
