Leftover roast beef stew PIN to try later!
this is Leftover roast beef broth This is a recipe from the early days of my site that has suddenly become popular again recently, and I wondered why. Then I realized that beef is now so much more expensive that when people brag about their delicious roast beef, they are probably looking for another idea for dinner with their leftovers! This recipe is the perfect way to use up leftover roast beef to make a delicious stew!
This beef stew recipe is also a great example of something delicious no matter what type of diet you’re on, and with all the flavors of green peppers, mushrooms, roasted tomatoes, oregano and basil, you won’t miss a little potato or carrot. This is a flexible recipe, and you can adjust the quantities and ingredients to what you have hanging in the fridge.
The only thing I think is necessary is the dried herbs that are boiled in the broth, with the addition of some fresh basil or frozen basil in the end. For me, this was a good reason to buy one of the basil plants you see in the grocery store, and yet I keep it alive in my window! But even if you don’t have fresh basil, it’s delicious and I hope you’ll try it if you get leftover roast beef!
What components do you need?
- Onion
- green pepper
- olive oil

- canned beef broth (or use Homemade beef broth if you have some)

What makes leftover beef broth extra flavor?
Of course, starting with roast beef adds flavor to your Italian beef broth. But the soup is also very tasty from green peppers, tomatoes, mushrooms, dried oregano and dried basil. And if you finish it off with some fresh basil, it makes it even better.
What if you have less than a pound of leftover roast beef?
If you have a whole pound of roast beef, I urge you to use the full amount (or even more). But if you don’t have a whole pound of diced meat, you can still make a delicious stew. You can use more green peppers or more mushrooms, add zucchini, add red peppers, add artichoke hearts, or add other vegetables that you enjoy in stews. You can also add some bacon or sausage to the soup.
