20 Best Shaved Beef Recipes (+ Easy Steak Dishes)

These shaved beef recipes are absolutely divine and I know you will love them. After all, what’s better than thinly-sliced steak? Not much!

Shaved beef might not be everyone’s first choice when it comes to beef. I get it, it’s hard to argue with a good roast, filet, or steak.

But it’s time to quit sitting on shaved beef. 

Thinly-sliced steak makes so many wonderful dishes, like Philly cheesesteak, tacos, fajitas, and more.

It’s also super tender and easy to cook. Plus, it tastes amazing and it contains high levels of vitamin B12 and protein, so it’s pretty good for you. 

Although, some of these shredded beef recipes are much better for your soul than your body. 

Keep reading for 20 amazing shaved beef recipes! 

1. Mongolian Beef

This list starts well with one of my all-time favorite dishes, Mongolian beef. And really, what’s not to love? It’s sweet, savory, and super tasty. 

Each slice of beef is perfectly brown and crispy thanks to a little corn starch dusting, which thickens the delicious sauce.

Speaking of sauce, the beef is coated in umami-rich brown sugar, soy sauce, and garlic sauce. Every bite is mouthwatering.  

Add some fresh scallions and serve it over rice with your favorite veggies! 

2. Cheesesteak Sandwich

This classic steak sandwich is nationally known for a reason. It’s meaty, cheesy, juicy, and seriously good for your soul. I

t’s great for game day or when you just need some good food.

This sandwich gets so much flavor from the glorious shredded beef.

It’s cooked in seasoning salt, Worcestershire, and hot sauce, so it’s bold and super savory. It’s delicious. 

Then, you top it with caramelized onions and ooey-gooey provolone cheese. Serve it on a toasted sandwich roll, and you’re in business. 

3. Taco Shredded Beef

You may never go back to ground beef tacos after you’ve tried this recipe.

The beef is juicy and intensely flavorful. The key to this amazing beef lies in two elements.

First, it has a super easy-to-make yet delicious marinade.

It features brown sugar, coconut aminos, hot sauce, sesame oil, lime, and garlic. (Be sure to marinate for at least 1 hour.)

Second, you’ll want to grill the meat. Grilling adds so much flavor that’s hard to get in a pan. But, in a pinch, a frying pan will certainly work. 

Do you want to know the best part? You can use this meat for anything with a Tex-Mex feel like nachos or quesadillas.
