    Summer grills are heating up and our favorite thing to grill is a good steak!

    What can you do with leftover steak? I've never been one to waste food and that is even more true now with inflation. I'll freeze anything - except lettuce- tried that.

    This salad recipe will help use any leftover steak the next day. Add some crunchy lettuce, corn, black beans, and onions and you've got a salad for any meal.
