Overcooked your meat? Rachael has some easy tricks for rescuing it so you don't waste money. (Meat is expensive, after all!)
"If the meat is dry — and I mean any meat, from Thanksgiving turkey to steak — you can slice it against the grain and put it in a bath of stock or bone broth," Rachael says.
"Understand it's not going to taste like a juicy, medium rare steak. It's going to taste like you made a brisket, like a slow-cooked braised meat," she continues, "but you won't have to waste it."

"Once you bring it back to life in stock," Rach adds, you have plenty of options. "You could chop it up and turn it into a ragu sauce for pasta, turn it into chili, [make] fajitas, quesadillas or taquitos with it, turn it into hash with potatoes... You just need to kind of disguise what happened."
Rachael uses a similar trick for reviving overcooked vegetables. If you've overcooked your vegetables, "add more stock, puree it, add a little cream and you make cream of whatever that vegetable is," she says. So smart!
