The pre-seasoning saves time in meal preparation, making it convenient for busy cooks. The thin slicing ensures quick cooking and easy incorporation into various dishes. It is sold refrigerated and ready for immediate use.

To cook, heat a skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add a small amount of oil if desired, though the steak may contain enough fat. Add the shaved steak in a single layer, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan, which can lead to steaming instead of searing. Cook for a few minutes, stirring occasionally, until browned and cooked through. The thin slices cook very quickly. You can add additional seasonings or vegetables during the last minute of cooking.
How it differs from similar foods
Unlike plain shaved steak, this product comes pre-seasoned with a classic blend of salt, pepper, and garlic. This saves the step of seasoning the meat yourself, offering a convenient shortcut. The flavor profile is already established, though you can enhance it further.
