Enjoy this collection of nine easy shaved beef recipes including sandwiches, bowls, stir fry’s, and more. It’s such an easy protein to cook with and even better to eat!
I’ve been on a major shaved beef kick lately, and for good reason. Not only is it incredibly versatile, but my boys are absolutely obsessed with it! It’s a budget-friendly cut that, honestly, I prefer over ground beef any day. I usually pick mine up at Trader Joe’s—because let’s be real, who doesn’t love a TJ’s run?—but you can find it at almost any grocery store.
At the rate I’m stocking up, we might as well call this roundup “9 Easy Trader Joe’s Shaved Beef Recipes”! If you’re looking to simplify your dinner routine tonight, try using this fantastic cut in any of these nine shaved beef steak recipes. I kid you not—everyone in your family is going to love it!
Hot tip: If you want to make your own shaved beef, I highly recommend investing in a quality mandoline slicer. Slice any cut of beef when it’s slightly frozen and set the mandoline slicing thickness to the smallest setting for the best results.
9 Shaved Beef Recipes
1. Shaved Steak Sandwiches
When you’re craving a solid sandwich with a ton of meat filling, this recipe with shaved beef steak is a top contender. Protein keeps you full for a long time, so these shaved beef sandwiches are definitely going to keep you satiated for a while. Plus, you only need a few ingredients (no long list here!).
2. Hunan Beef
Hunan flavors are sweet, savory, and spicy with umami flavor. In this shaved beef recipe, the sliced beef is mixed with a load of bell peppers, broccoli, onions, and garlic and cooked in the Hunan sauce. Skip the takeout tonight and try this instead.
3. Burrito Bowls
I think Chipotle made burrito bowls super famous, but my goal was to make homemade burrito bowls delicious, easy, and fast. In this recipe, I used ground beef, but shaved beef can be very easily (and deliciously) be substituted.
4. Make-Ahead Breakfast Bowls
There’s no better way to start off the day than with a solid, nutritious breakfast. Fill it up with protein (aka shaved steak) and you won’t be feeling any early hunger pains before lunchtime.
5. Philly Cheesesteak Stuffed Peppers
I love Philly cheesesteak anything – casserole, stuffed peppers, sliders, egg rolls, the list goes on. In this case, the shaved steak works perfectly inside of pepper halves and topped with delicious melty Provolone cheese.
6. Beef Bulgogi
Bulgogi literally translated to “fire meat” in Korean, referring to the grilled or stir-fried method of cooking this thinly sliced, marinated beef. The delicious flavor of this dish is a combination of fruity sweetness, earthy spicy peppers, and savory beef. Serve it over warm white rice for a complete meal.
7. Shaved Beef Tacos
This is such a go-to recipe for shaved beef steak on busy nights when your brain doesn’t want to think of what to make for dinner. Get out some tortillas, fry up the shaved beef and season it to taste, and gather your favorite taco toppings (pico de gallo is my favorite!). That’s it!
8. Steak Quesadillas
I make quesadillas whenever I have protein left over- and I almost always already have cheese, and flour tortillas in the fridge. They’re so easy to make and it’s a great way to use up literally any other veggies or meat you still have.
9. Steak Stir Fry
In this steak stir fry recipe, I use larger pieces of beef, but a shaved steak substitute is just as delicious (maybe even more!). The shaved steak cooks faster and the bites are even more tender and easy to chew. Whip up the sauce with sesame oil, soy sauce, brown sugar, and ginger for a super flavorful meal.
