Ingredients

• 1 pound beef sirloin
• 3 tablespoons soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
• 3 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 4 medium Yukon gold potatoes
• 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 1 large red onion, sliced into wedges
• 2 roma tomatoes, sliced into wedges
• 1 teaspoon aji amarillo paste (optional)
• 1 tablespoon fresh cilantro, chopped
• 2 cups white rice, cooked
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon pepper
• 2 lime wedges (for serving)

Directions

Step 1

Cut the beef sirloin into thin strips approximately 2 inches long and 1/2 inch wide.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, combine the soy sauce, red wine vinegar, minced garlic, and ground cumin. Add the beef strips and toss to coat. Let the beef marinate for 15 minutes while preparing the other ingredients.

Step 3

Peel and cut the Yukon gold potatoes into thin strips similar in size to French fries.

Step 4

Heat 1 1/2 tablespoons of the vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium heat. Add the potato strips in a single layer and fry until golden and crispy, about 6-8 minutes, turning occasionally. Remove the potatoes and set them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.

Step 5

In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 1/2 tablespoons of vegetable oil and increase the heat to medium-high. Add the marinated beef strips (drained of excess marinade) and sear them quickly for 2-3 minutes until browned but not fully cooked through. Remove from the pan and set aside.

Step 6

Add the sliced red onions to the hot skillet and stir-fry for about 2 minutes until they begin to soften slightly. Then add the roma tomatoes, aji amarillo paste (if using), and the cooked beef back into the skillet.

Step 7

Toss everything together in the skillet and cook for an additional 2 minutes, making sure the beef is fully cooked and the vegetables are tender but not mushy.

Step 8

Add the crispy potatoes into the skillet and gently toss to combine with the stir-fry mixture. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Step 9

Remove from the heat and sprinkle fresh chopped cilantro over the top for garnish.

Step 10

Serve immediately with fluffy white rice on the side and lime wedges for squeezing over the dish.
