Ingredients

• 500 grams Beef sirloin or flank steak, sliced into thin strips
• 4 tablespoons Soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons White vinegar
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 3 tablespoons Vegetable oil
• 1 large Red onion, sliced into thick wedges
• 2 medium Tomatoes, sliced into wedges
• 2 tablespoons Aji amarillo (yellow chili paste) or fresh aji amarillo, finely chopped
• 2 tablespoons Cilantro, finely chopped
• 2 stalks Green onions, chopped
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
• 300 grams French fries, cooked and crispy
• 4 cups Cooked white rice

Directions

Step 1

1. Marinate the beef: In a medium bowl, combine the sliced beef, 2 tablespoons of soy sauce, white vinegar, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper. Toss to coat evenly, cover, and let it marinate for 15 minutes.

Step 2

2. Heat the oil: In a large wok or skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil over high heat until it begins to shimmer.

Step 3

3. Sear the beef: Add the marinated beef to the hot wok in a single layer and sear for 1-2 minutes on each side until browned. Remove the beef from the wok and set aside.

Step 4

4. Sauté the vegetables: Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil to the wok. Add the sliced red onion and stir-fry for 2 minutes until slightly softened. Then, add the aji amarillo and stir briefly.

Step 5

5. Add the tomatoes: Add the tomato wedges to the wok and stir-fry for another 2 minutes until they begin to soften slightly but still hold their shape.

Step 6

6. Combine beef and vegetables: Return the seared beef to the wok along with the remaining 2 tablespoons of soy sauce. Toss all the ingredients together well, cooking for an additional 2 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

Step 7

7. Garnish: Sprinkle the chopped cilantro and green onions over the stir-fry and give it a final toss before removing it from the heat.

Step 8

8. Serve: Plate the Lomo Saltado alongside crispy French fries and serve with a generous scoop of steamed white rice.
