What to do with leftover beef tenderloin? Philly Sandwich a la grill

Last night we had a whole beef tenderloin with company. We knew we had too much but we never like to come up short. Also it is just so easy just oven roast it to minimize work and maximize talk time.

So I have a pound of cooked beef tenderloin. What to do? I have been want to try a Philly sandwich but hadn't done any research and it was already 6:30 and something need to be done. So I spent 5 minutes getting the french fries cut and going (See Easiest French Fries Ever) then put the griddle on the grill to preheat on high and started cutting.

OK, it probably won't be repeated frequently because how ofter do you have these leftovers but it is too good to be a 3. It could be more spice for some people but was just right for us. Total time 25 minutes from start of preheat and serving with the fries.

Notes: I used an mandolin for most of the meat cutting but to stay cross-grain, I did need to hand cut some.
