Lomo Saltado Recipe (Peruvian Beef Stir Fry with French Fries)

Step 1

Whisk together the olive oil, soy sauce, vinegar, garlic, cumin and salt and pepper in a large bowl.

Step 2

Slice the steak into bite sized pieces and set into the bowl. Mix and marinate for at least 10 minutes. Set aside.

Step 3

Cover the potatoes in a large bowl with cold water and let them soak for at least 10 minutes (this will help with crispiness).

Step 4

Heat the olive oil in a large pan or wok to medium-high heat.

Step 5

Season the sliced potato with salt and pepper, then cook for 10-15 minutes, or until cooked through to your liking. SEE NOTES.

Step 6

Set the potatoes aside.

Step 7

Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in the same pan or wok over medium-high heat.

Step 8

Add the onion and peppers and stir fry for 2 minutes to soften.

Step 9

Drain the marinade from the steak but keep the marinade. Stir fry the steak with the onion and peppers 3-4 minutes, until the steak forms a nice crust.

Step 10

Add the stir fry marinade and tomato and stir fry for 1 minute.

Step 11

Add the cooked potatoes/French fries along with the cilantro and hot sauce, if desired. Stir fry to heat through.

Step 12

Serve the lomo saltado (stir fried steak and potatoes) over cooked rice. Garnish with fresh chopped cilantro, spicy chili flakes, and hot sauce to taste.
