Lomo Saltado (Peruvian Beef Stir Fry)

Step 1

Marinate the steak with soy sauce, cumin, oregano and pepper in a bowl while you prepare the rest of the ingredients.

Step 2

Make the stir fry sauce by mixing Aji Amarillo paste, 3 Tbs soy sauce, vinegar and a dash of salt. Set aside.

Step 3

Heat 2 Tbsp of oil in a large skillet or a wok over high heat. Add the steak strips and cook, stir frying until browned and seared, 3-4 minutes. Do not overcrowd pan and if needed sear the steak in batches. Remove onto a plate and set aside.

Step 4

In the same pan, (add more oil if needed) stir fry sliced onions and bell peppers for a couple of minutes or until they start turning just a little soft. Add in ginger and garlic and stir fry for a minute. Add in tomato slices and stir fry for 30 seconds.

Step 5

Return the steak along with its juices to the pan. Stir in the stir fry sauce and mix everything well for a minute.

Step 6

Garnish with chopped cilantro and serve immediately over rice and French fries. (Alternately, you can mix the French fries into the stir fry)
