what kind of beef is used for shabu
Shabu-Shabu Meats. Beef and pork are the most common meats used in shabu-shabu, but you may also use chicken and lamb. Higher-end restaurants in Japan only serve beef for shabu-shabu. Marbled beef is the top choice, but some serve leaner cuts such as shoulder and loin. The most important thing is that whatever meat you choose, it has to be thinly sliced because it has to cook very quickly.
