Description

Learn how to cook shaved beef perfectly for mouthwatering sandwiches! This shaved beef sandwich recipe provides beef sandwich tips and a detailed shaved beef cooking method for a restaurant-quality meal at home.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound of shaved beef
  • 2 tablespoons of olive oil
  • 1 medium onion, thinly sliced
  • 1 bell pepper (any color), thinly sliced
  • 4 sandwich rolls
  • 4 slices of cheese (provolone, mozzarella, or your favorite)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Optional: garlic powder, onion powder, or your favorite seasoning blend

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Ingredients: Thinly slice the onion and bell pepper. Ensure your shaved beef is ready to go. Having everything prepared in advance will make the cooking process smoother.
  2. Sauté the Vegetables: Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sliced onions and bell peppers. Sauté them until they are soft and slightly caramelized, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the vegetables from the skillet and set aside to keep warm.
  3. Cook the Shaved Beef: Add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil to the same skillet. Increase the heat to high. Add the shaved beef in a single layer (you may need to do this in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan). Cook the shaved beef for just 1-2 minutes per side, until it’s browned and cooked through. Season with salt, pepper, and any other seasonings you like.
  4. Assemble the Sandwiches: Divide the cooked shaved beef evenly among the sandwich rolls. Top each with the sautéed onions and bell peppers. Place a slice of cheese on top of each sandwich. You can either place the sandwiches under a broiler for a minute or two to melt the cheese, or use a microwave for a quicker melt. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • Choose the Right Cut: Sirloin and ribeye are popular, but flank steak works well too if thinly sliced.
  • Don’t Overcrowd the Pan: Cook the shaved beef in batches for proper browning.
  • High Heat is Key: Ensures quick cooking and a nice sear.
  • Season Generously: Don’t be afraid to season your shaved beef generously with salt, pepper, and spices.
  • Toast the Rolls: Adds texture and prevents sogginess.
