Shabu Shabu Meat in Singapore

Hotpot night at home is only as good as the meat on the plate. Our shabu shabu meat is sliced thin, so each piece cooks in seconds and stays soft and juicy. Browse thinly sliced beef from 1974 by Meat Affair, set up your pot, and get the table ready for family and friends.

Why Thin Slices Matter for Shabu Shabu

Shabu shabu is a quick-cook dish. You hold a slice with chopsticks, swish it through simmering broth for a few seconds, then dip and eat. Thick or uneven slices stay raw in the middle or turn tough, so the cut makes all the difference. Good shabu shabu beef has three things going for it:
  • Thin, even slices that cook in about 5 to 10 seconds
  • Light marbling that adds richness to the broth without feeling heavy
  • Clean, fresh flavour that goes well with ponzu or sesame sauce
Every pack in this collection is sliced with hotpot in mind, so you can skip the knife work and go straight to cooking.

How to Cook Shabu Shabu at Home

You only need a pot, a portable stove or induction cooker, and a few simple sides.
  1. Fill the pot with water or kombu stock and bring it to a gentle simmer at the table.
  2. Add harder vegetables first, such as cabbage, carrots and mushrooms. Tofu goes in next.
  3. Hold one slice of beef with chopsticks and swish it through the broth for 5 to 10 seconds, until the pink just fades.
  4. Dip in ponzu or goma (sesame) sauce and eat right away.
  5. Finish with rice, udon or glass noodles in the tasty broth.
Do not overcook the meat. Once it turns fully grey, it loses its soft bite.

Storing and Thawing Your Meat

Keep your order frozen until you are ready to use it. Thaw it in the chiller overnight, then pat dry and separate the slices gently. Slow thawing keeps the slices tender and stops them from tearing. Once thawed, cook within the time stated on the pack and do not refreeze. Planning a bigger feast? Pair your hotpot with something from our beef collection for a full spread.
