Shaved Steak: The star of the show! Opt for a thinly sliced cut like ribeye or sirloin. These are ideal because they cook quickly and tenderize beautifully. You’ll need about 1 pound of shaved steak to pair with the ground beef.
Ground Beef: Choose lean ground beef around 85% lean, for the best balance of flavor and texture. You’ll need 1 pound of ground beef to mix with the shaved steak, creating that perfect, juicy beef blend.
Seasonings: Keep it simple or go bold! Some essential seasonings include:
Salt and pepper to taste
Garlic powder and onion powder for savory depth
Paprika or chili powder for a touch of smokiness
Fresh or dried herbs like thyme or oregano to round out the flavor
Onion: One medium onion finely chopped, adds a natural sweetness and richness to your beef mix.
Garlic: 2-3 cloves minced, for that aromatic punch that’s hard to resist.
Vegetables optional: Depending on your dish, you might want to add vegetables like bell peppers, mushrooms, or zucchini. These add flavor, texture, and nutrients while making the meal more colorful and hearty.
Olive Oil: A couple of tablespoons to sauté the beef and vegetables. It helps create that perfect sear and adds a bit of richness to the dish.
Optional Sauces: Depending on your recipe you may want to add a splash of soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, or tomato paste for extra depth of flavor.

Before you begin cooking, gather all the ingredients for your shaved steak and ground beef combo. This will make the cooking process smooth and stress-free. Here’s what you’ll need:
Shaved Steak: Thinly sliced beef that adds a tender texture.
Ground Beef: Lean ground beef that brings richness and heartiness to the dish.
Vegetables (optional): Onions, bell peppers, and garlic are great additions for extra flavor.
Seasonings: Salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika are classic choices, but feel free to get creative!

Start by heating a large skillet or frying pan over medium-high heat. Add a bit of olive oil or cooking spray to prevent sticking, then add your ground beef. Break it apart with a spoon or spatula, making sure to cook it evenly. Stir occasionally, and cook until the beef is browned and fully cooked, which should take about 5-7 minutes. Drain off any excess fat if needed.

Once the ground beef is browned, it’s time to add the shaved steak! Add the shaved steak to the pan with the ground beef, breaking it up as you go. Let the beef cook for an additional 3-5 minutes, stirring often, until the shaved steak has browned and is cooked through. The shaved steak will cook quickly, so keep an eye on it to avoid overcooking.

Next, it’s time to bring in the flavor. Season the beef mixture with salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika. Stir to coat the meat evenly. If you’re adding vegetables like onions, bell peppers, or garlic, toss them in now and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until softened. The vegetables will infuse the beef with extra flavor, making the dish even more delicious.

After seasoning and adding the vegetables, reduce the heat to medium low. Allow the beef and vegetables to simmer together for 5-10 minutes, so the flavors can meld. If you’d like a little more sauce or moisture, feel free to add a splash of beef broth or a tablespoon of Worcestershire sauce to the pan.

Before serving, taste the beef mixture and adjust the seasoning to your liking. You might want to add more salt, pepper, or even a dash of hot sauce if you prefer a little spice. Once you’re happy with the flavor, it’s ready to serve!
