What she’d tell you
Cold roast beef is a wonderful thing and a slightly sad one by Tuesday. Chop it small, fry it hard with potatoes until the edges catch, and it becomes a completely different meal.
What you need
Written for 4. Change that in the app and the amounts follow.

How it goes
Cut the potatoes into 1 cm dice and boil them 6 minutes: no further. Drain and let them steam dry.
Fry the sliced onions in the oil over medium-high heat for 6 minutes.
Add the potatoes and the butter and fry hard for 8 minutes, turning rarely, until they have brown faces.
Chop the beef small, add it with the Worcestershire, salt and pepper, and give it 3 minutes.
Scatter with parsley and top each plate with a fried egg.
If you haven’t got it
Cooked Beef
any leftover roast: lamb, pork or chicken all work
Potato
leftover roast potatoes, which skip the boiling entirely
Keeping it
Two days in the fridge.
A hot pan. Never a microwave: the whole dish is the crisp edges.
