roast beef as a meal

Whether you prepare it for a meal or for sandwich meat, the cooking process remains the same. Especially for small roasts, I do prefer stovetop because I find it easier to control the end result.

a. stovetop roast beef with aioli, pan-fried potatoes

Again a small top-round roast cooked stovetop. This one is one of the few such that were served as a main meal. I served this one with no-egg aioli and pan-fried potatoes. 

Refrigerate leftovers.

Pic5: sliced
Pic6: served with aioli ...
Pic7: ... and pan-fried potatoes

b. refried roast beef

This roast was already cooked. Instead of warming up the entire roast again, I cut off a steak and refried this like a regular steak. Because the inside was already cooked, all it really needed was a brief searing on both sides. Don't overdo it unless you like shoe-leather steaks.
