What Is Shaved Steak?

Also known as shaved beef, sandwich steak, beef shavings, or ribeye shavings, shaved steak is beef that has been sliced (or "shaved") into very thin pieces. The meat can come from any cut of the cow, but it is usually either skirt steak or flank steak. It is usually cut so thin that it appears translucent.

Shaved steak can be used in various dishes (see below), and it also makes a great ground beef substitute. You can find it in the steak case of well-stocked grocery stores or at most butcher counters.

If shaved steak is new to you, get ready to be converted! Here are the top reasons why I adore cooking with it!

  • Versatile — This tender, juicy beef is shaved into thin slices, making it perfect for use in various dishes, such as salads, sandwiches, stir-fries, tacos, soups, and even pizza toppings.
  • Easy to Cook — One of the main benefits of shaved steak is how simple it is to cook with. Anyone from beginners to pro chefs can use it to make a tasty and satisfying meal!
  • Budget-Friendly — Enjoy the steak experience without breaking the bank; shaved steak can be as much as $3-5 less per pound than sirloin or flank steak.
  • Quick-Cooking — Because of its incredibly thin cut, shaved steak can be prepared in minutes. It's super weeknight friendly!
  • Great Flavor — When cooked properly, this cut of beef becomes incredibly juicy and delicious. It's often seasoned with various herbs and spices such as garlic powder or paprika, enhancing its savory flavors and taking it to the next level.
