I have no qualms about cooking large portions of meat stew. In fact I love the leftovers because you'll never know what comes out of them. Here's an example:
The Leftover Sandwich - using beef that's been cooked under pressure so long, it slides apart at the press of a fork.
There is a quaint little cafe called Darwin's five minutes from our apartment. The place is divided into three parts: coffee counter with pastries on the right, sandwich counter on the left, and a tiny grocery department (where the husband gets his supply of beer from) in between.

The folks at Darwin's use freshly delivered breads for their sandwich counter each day, and would sell any unused loaves the next day at about 25% off the retail price. I'd drop by now and then for these since I was going to keep them in the fridge anyway, so freshness doesn't matter that much. Among the selection, my favourite is the sourdough which can be used as breakfast toasts, sandwiches or croutons for soup.
So, very simply, the Leftover Sandwich is really that - made of leftovers! It only required two slices of lightly toasted bread (check out the grill marks from my pan!), spread with butter on one side and dijon mustard on the other, topped with shreds of beef that's been microwaved, one slice of large red onion, two sticks of celery heart. Nothing cast in stone - just use what you have in the fridge and hopefully the ingredients complement each other.

Lastly, to make it even more pleasing to the eyes, hold the sandwich firmly, sliced it at an angle, and stack them up.
If I didn't tell you, would you have guessed this was made of solely leftovers?
