Anyone ever put leftover steak in chili?

So my Dad and I had a barbecue grilling two tomahawk steaks. Surprise, we weren’t able to finish them, so my Dad floated the idea of giving me the leftovers. Thing is, I can’t stand steak if it’s been refrigerated and needs to be reheated in the microwave.

So my question is, has anyone else ever put their leftover steak in a chili recipe? Perhaps more specifically, tomahawk steak?

Edit: Man, some of y’all really don’t realize we don’t all have inter-dimensional voids in our stomachs, even for something as delicious as steak. It’s okay, just sit down and take some deep breaths. Everything’s gonna be fine.

I would make hash. Potatoes, peppers, onions, salt,pepper. Maybe some garlic. Soft fried egg on top and some toast.
