Ingredients for this shaved steak recipe
- Shaved steak. Though you can make shaved steak at home, I like recommend buying it precut from the grocery store. It saves time!
- Crimini mushrooms. Any cut of beef with mushrooms is a winning recipe.
- Balsamic vinegar. Balsamic gives the rosemary mixture that extra pizzazz.
- Coconut aminos. This is a gluten free alternative to soy sauce and will add a bit of saltiness to the dish.
- Maple syrup. It doesn’t make it super sweet but it does balance out the vinegar and and the salt.
- Garlic.
- Red onion.
- Fresh rosemary.
- Dried parsley.
- Cayenne pepper.
- Salt and pepper as needed.
- Extra virgin olive oil.
How to make
Step One: Marinate The Beef: In a large bowl or shallow dish, you’re going to add all the ingredients except for the olive oil and mushrooms. Mix the sauce into the meat and let it marinate for about 30 minutes at room temperature or in the fridge. Marinating the meat gives it extra flavor.
Step Two: Prepare the Mushrooms: On medium-high heat, preheat a large skillet for 1-2 minutes. When the pan is ready, add the olive oil along with the mushrooms to the hot skillet. Let them cook for about 3-4 minutes and turn the heat to low, then you can add the beef.
Step Three: Cook The Beef: The beef will braise in the sauce for about 20 minutes. You can adjust the seasoning by adding more black pepper and salt if you like.

How to make shaved steak at home
Preparing shaved steak at home is easy for home cooks if you have the right tools and technique.
What you will need is a sharp knife or meat slicer. You need this in order to create thin slices of beef. Pick a beef cut that is tender. Some popular choices are flank steak, sirloin or ribeye steak. Partially freeze the beef before cutting, about 30 minutes or so, This will help make it easier to cut into the beef steak. The best way to cut is to slice against the grain. Use your shaved beef right away or freeze any leftovers and use it next time for other beef recipes. Be sure to portion it out before freezing.
Serving suggestions and alternatives
- Granulated garlic works if you don’t have fresh garlic.
- Add other vegetables in as well such red bell pepper, snow peas, caramelized onions or shredded carrots.
- Green onions are always a nice addition to this dish.
- Use red pepper flakes or chili peppers.
- Make a shaved steak sandwich by grabbing a toasted warm hoagie roll and adding this meat mixture in with a slice of melted provolone cheese.
