Leftovers make great toasted sandwiches when you don’t feel like cooking.
This recipe is also great if you have more groups of people to entertain this season. Use the leftovers to create the perfect pasta dish by adding the shredded beef to make a Ragu and serve with a local red wine, or heat and serve the beef on the side of mashed potatoes, or gnocchi and veggies for another Christmas feast.
