Ingredients you’ll need

- Shaved steak.
- 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 the salt.
- Garlic.
- Red onion.
- Fresh rosemary.
- Zesty Italian Seasoning. A homemade spice blend of dried oregano, basil, garlic powder, paprika, dried parsley and salt.
- Salt and pepper as needed.
- Extra virgin olive oil.
How to make this Shaved Steak Recipe
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.

Storing and reheating
Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Reheat in the microwave for 1-2 minutes.

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.
