Frequently Asked Questions
How long is leftover steak good for?
Leftover steak will typically last in the fridge for 3 to 4 days. To make sure you get the longest shelf life, store your leftover steak in an airtight glass container.
What's the best way to reheat steak?
When it comes to reheating your leftover steak, I find that the best way to do it is in the oven or in a pan on the stovetop. For the oven method, place the steak on a wire rack on a sheet pan and reheat in the oven for about 30 minutes at 250° Fahrenheit. If you’re reheating it on the stovetop, sear it over medium-high heat for about one minute per side.
How do I make it more tender?
The oven method is the best way to make your leftover steak super tender. I also recommend storing your leftover steak in any juices or sauce so that the meat stays nice and moist.
