What was leftover from Thursday’s great Porterhouse was what some consider the finest part of the steak, the fillet. It weighed under 8 ounces, just enough to add to an assembly of sauteed vegetables into what is for some unknown reason called Hash.
Most often, be it beef, lamb, or chicken, leftovers turned into the next evening’s Hash is a dinner we look forward to, as we did last evening. As a side dish Cathie had a Flying Saucer Patty Pan Squash, slow roasted in a 450 degree, oven until almost melted. With each bite it melted in her mouth.

INGREDIENTS

8 Ounces of leftover Porterhouse (or other cuts)
1 Red Bell Pepper (cut to a 3/4″ dice)
